This release includes the following features and improvements: Mesos 0.23 provides support for per-container network monitoring and isolation. Network isolation prevents a single container from exhausting the available network ports, consuming an unfair share of the network bandwidth or significantly delaying packet transmission for others. Network statistics for each active container are published through the /monitor/statistics.json endpoint on the slave. Network isolation is transparent for the majority of tasks running on a slave (those that bind to port 0 and let the kernel allocate their port). This feature is only available on Linux and requires a configure-time flag. Refer to the for more information. Experimental support for SSL encryption of any libprocess communication via libevent. Encrypting traffic between the Mesos master and its slaves and frameworks is important for information security, as it prevents eavesdropping and impersonation. This feature requires a configure-time flag and will have some performance impact. Refer to the for instructions on building and enabling SSL. Experimental support for launching tasks/executors on revocable resources. These resources can be revoked by Mesos at any time, causing the tasks using them to be throttled or preempted. High-priority user-facing services are typically provisioned on large clusters for peak load and unexpected load spikes. Hence, for most of time, the provisioned resources remain underutilized. Oversubscription takes advantage of temporarily unused resources to execute best-effort tasks such as background analytics, video/image processing, chip simulations, and other low priority jobs. Oversubscription adds two new slave components: a Resource Estimator and a Quality of Service (QoS) Controller, alongside extending the existing resource allocator, resource monitor, and mesos slave. Refer to the for more information. Experimental support for frameworks creating Persistent Volumes from disk resources. This enables stateful services such as HDFS and Cassandra to store their data within Mesos rather than having to resort to network-mounted EBS volumes or unmanaged disk resources that need to be placed in a well-known location. Refer to the for more information. Experimental support for frameworks dynamically reserving resources on specific slaves for their role. Rather than requiring an operator to specify a fixed, precalculated set of "static" reservations on slave startup, a framework can now reserve resources as they are being offered, without requiring a slave

No breaking changes were introduced with dynamic reservation, which means the existing static reservation mechanism continues to be fully supported. Refer to the for more information. Experimental support for fetcher caching of executor/task binaries. The fetcher can be instructed to cache URI downloads in a dedicated directory for reuse by subsequent downloads. If the URIs cache field has the value true, then the fetcher cache is in effect. If a URI is encountered for the first time (for a particular user), it is first downloaded into the cache, then copied to the sandbox directory from there. If the same URI is encountered again (for the same user), and a corresponding cache file is resident in the cache or still en route into the cache, then downloading is omitted and the fetcher proceeds directly to copying from the cache. Refer to the for more information. SSL, Oversubscription, Persistent Volumes, Dynamic Reservations, and Fetcher Caching are all released as "experimental" features, meaning that they are feature complete, at least for some use case, but have not yet been tested in production environments. We welcome your feedback. Hundreds of other bug fixes/improvements are included in Mesos 0.23.0. See the for a full list of resolved JIRA issues. Rolling upgrades from a Mesos 0.22.x cluster to Mesos 0.23 are straightforward, but there are a few caveats/deprecations. Please refer to the for detailed information on upgrading to Mesos 0.23. Please note that Mesos 0.23.0 now requires gcc 4.8+ or clang 3.5+, so that we can take advantage of C++11 language features. We encourage you to try out this release and let us know what you think. If you run into any issues, please let us know on the .
