Hi, the last 2 years I managed a mesos cluster with bare-metal on-premise. Now at my new company, the situation is a little bit different, and I'm wondering if there are some kind of best practices: The company is in the middle of a transition from on-premise to AWS. The old stuff is still running in the DC, the newer micro services are running within autoscales groups on AWS and other AWS services like DynamoDB, Kinesis and Lambda are also on the rise.
So in my naive view of the world (where no problems occur..... never!) I'm thinking that it would be great to span a hybrid mesos cluster over AWS&DC to leverage the still available resources in the DC which gets more and more underutilized over the time. Now my naive world view slowly crumbles, and I realize that I'm missing the experience with AWS. Questions that are already popping up (beside all those Questions, where I currently don't know that I will have them...) are: * Is Virtual Private Gateway to my VPC enough, or do I need to aim for a Direct Connect? * Put everything into one Account, or use a Multi-Account strategy? (Mainly to prevent things running amok and drag stuff down while running into an account wide shared limit?) * Will e.g. DynamoDb be "fast" enough if it's accessed from the Datacenter. I'll appreciate any feedback or lessons learned about that topic :) Thanks, Florian
