Nope. First, mesos is not a "framework". A framework is what you use in your application to help build the app itself, like spring, rails, or django. Mesos is more fundamental.
- mesos gathers all the resources (cpus/mems/disks) of the nodes in your cluster and make it a resource pool - your app doesn't even know it's scheduled and managed (e.g. started/stopped) by mesos (to be exact, by any framework running on mesos, like marathon) So you can think mesos as an "distributed operating system" , just as mesosphere's slogan says.
