Would not using Bamboo to update haproxy config have the same problems I 
described for the Marathon provided script? It would still run in a separate 
container.

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?

Do you know this repo? https://github.com/QubitProducts/bamboo . And here our 
corp one https://github.com/Dataman-Cloud/bamboo branched from the above.

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
