What base image are you using for your slave nodes? Salt doesn't seem to play very nicely with CoreOS (unless anyone here has any tips?).
In an ideal world we could spin up a node with just the mesos slave running on it and then deploy consul as a docker container to it using a mesos framework, removing the need for any kind of provisioning tool like salt (assuming mesos slave is installed using cloud-init or something similar). ________________________________ From: Shuai Lin [[email protected]] Sent: 12 March 2015 13:25 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Deploying containers to every mesos slave node We do the same thing: running consul on each mesos slave, and use saltstack to provision it. Why do you want to get rid of salt? You always need some tool to provision your server, right?

I was just wondering if there was any sort of best practice (or a scheduler perhaps) that people could share for this sort of thing? Currently the approach is to use salt to provision each node and add consul/mesos slave process and so on to it, but it'd be nice to remove the dependency on salt. Thanks, Aaron
