Jie Yu created MESOS-5774:
-----------------------------
Summary: Support CVMFS based image type in unified containerizer.
Key: MESOS-5774
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5774
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Epic
Reporter: Jie Yu
CERN developed and is using CernVM File System
([CVMFS|https://cernvm.cern.ch/portal/filesystem]) to distribute terabytes of
software to hundreds of thousands of nodes across hundreds of datacenters.
CVMFS uses a combination of lazy loading, extensive indexing, deduplication,
caching and geographic distribution. This help to significantly reduce the
network load and speed-up the distribution.
All these features make CVMFS a very attractive candidate for solving
container-image management and distribution problem in Mesos. To get more
context, please refer to the [MesosCon'16 talk|http://sched.co/6jtr].
To integrate with [Unified
Containerizer|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2840], we can add a
new Image type (i.e., CVMFS) and a new Provisioner Store. We should always use
the bind backend so that we can leverage the on-demand fetching feature of
CVMFS.
The prototype implementation can be found here:
