Hi Gary, I use Babushka based Provisioning <https://github.com/parolkar/mesos-babushka> , the reason it has worked great for me is because in its current form I leverage vagrant providers to spin-up same cluster in AWS/Google cloud as I would run vagrant on my laptop. It hasn't disappointed me so far on a cluster of upto 10 EC2/Google Cloud instances.
Here is a little screencast from my laptop , which extends my local cluster with Google Cloud Instances with vagrant : http://youtu.be/pMArmgdCRVc?t=2m56s Would love to hear others' thoughts -parolkar On Wed, Dec 10, 2014 at 7:44 AM, Gary Malouf <[email protected]> wrote: > I'm trying to figure out the optimal approach for setting up a new Mesos > cluster for a client.
