The Mesos kernel runs on every machine and provides applications such as Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, and Elasticsearch with APIs for resource management and scheduling across entire data centre and cloud environments. Apache Mesos abstracts CPU, memory, storage, and other compute resources from physical or virtual machines, enabling the straightforward construction and effective operation of fault-tolerant and elastic distributed systems.

DC/OS brings together Mesos and more than 30 applications into a single coherent system, much like how a Linux distribution packages the Linux kernel with applications to create a functional operating system.
