DCOS

Mesosphere DC/OS makes it easy to build and run modern distributed applications in production at scale, by pooling resources across an entire datacenter or cloud.

While the DC/OS platform works great for stateless applications, many enterprises who have tried to use DC/OS for stateful applications at scale have stumbled when it comes to using the platform for services like databases, queues and key-value stores.

Portworx, which scales up to 1000 nodes per cluster and is used in production by DC/OS users like GE Digital, solves the operational and data management problems enterprises encounter when running stateful applications on DC/OS.

Unlike the default DC/OS volume driver, Portworx lets you:

dynamically create volumes for tasks at run time, no more submitting tickets for storage provisioning
dynamically and automatically resize volumes based on demand while task is running
run tasks on the same hosts that your data is located on for optimum performance
avoid pinning services to particular hosts, reducing the value of automated scheduling
avoid fragile block device mount/unmount operations that block or delay failover operations
encrypt data at rest and in flight at the container level

Read on for how to use Portworx to provide persistent storage for Mesosphere DC/OS and marathon and use it with DC/OS Commons frameworks for some of the most popular stateful services.
