Hi,
Is there a preferred way to do service discovery in Mesos via mesos-dns running on CoreOS? I'm trying to implement a simple app which consists of two docker containers and one of them (A) depends on the other (B). What I'd like to do is to tell container A to use a fix dns name (containerB.marathon.mesos in case of mesos-dns) to find the other service. There are at least 3 different ways I think it can be done, but the 3 I found all have some shortcomings. 1. Use SRV records to get the port along with the IP. Con: I'd prefer not to build the logic of handling SRV records into the app, it can be a legacy app that is difficult to modify 2. Use haproxy on slaves and connect via a well-known port on localhost. Cons: the Marathon provided script does not run on CoreOS, also I don't know how to run haproxy on CoreOS outside of a docker container. If it is running in a docker container, then how can it dynamically allocate ports on localhost if a new service is discovered in Marathon/Mesos? 3. Use dedicated port to bind the containers to. Con: I can have only as many instances of a service as many slaves I have because they bind to the same port. What other alternatives are there? Thanks, Andras
