Hi Douglas, The simplest way that Mesos can support is to add attributes via cli flags when you launch a mesos slave. And when this slave's resources is being offered, it will also include all the attributes you've tagged.
This currently is static information on launch, and I believe there is JIRA tickets to make this dynamic (updatable at runtime).
