"Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) is a highly scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run applications on a managed cluster of Amazon EC2 instances. Amazon ECS eliminates the need for you to install, operate, and scale your own cluster management infrastructure. With simple API calls, you can launch and stop container-enabled applications, query the complete state of your cluster, and access many familiar features like security groups, Elastic Load Balancing, EBS volumes, and IAM roles. You can use Amazon ECS to schedule the placement of containers across your cluster based on your resource needs and availability requirements. You can also integrate your own scheduler or third-party schedulers to meet business or application specific requirements."

"These are the major new features added since Slick 1.0.1: A code generator that reverse-engineers the database schema and generates all code required for working with Slick. New driver architecture to allow support for non-SQL, non-JDBC databases. Table definitions in the Lifted Embedding use a new syntax which is slightly more verbose but also more robust and logical, avoiding several pitfalls from earlier versions. Table definitions (and their * projections) are not restricted to flat tuples of columns anymore. They can use any type that would be valid as the return type of a Query. The old projection concatenation methods ~ and ~: are still supported but not imported by default. In addition to Scala tuples, Slick supports its own HList abstraction for records of arbitrary size. You can also add support for your own record types with only a few lines of code. All record types can be used everywhere (including table definitions and mapped projections) and they can be mixed and nested arbitrarily. Soft inserts are now the default, i.e. AutoInc columns are automatically skipped when inserting with +=, ++=, insert and insertAll. This means that you no longer need separate projections (without the primary key) for inserts. There are separate methods forceInsert and forceInsertAll in JdbcProfile for the old behavior. A new model for pre-compiled queries replaces the old QueryTemplate abstraction. Any query (both, actual collection-valued Query objects and scalar queries) or function from Column types to such a query can now be lifted into a Compiled wrapper. Lifted functions can be applied (without having to recompile the query), and you can use both monadic composition of Compiled values or just get the underlying query and use that for further composition. Pre-compiled queries can now be used for update and delete operations in addition to querying. threadLocalSession has been renamed to dynamicSession and the corresponding methods have distinct names (e.g. w

"What is Aurora? Platforms like Twitter operate across tens of thousands of machines, with hundreds of engineers deploying software daily. In this type of environment, automation is critical. Aurora is software that keeps services running in the face of many types of failure, and provides engineers a convenient, automated way to create and update these services. To accomplish this, Aurora leverages the Apache Mesos cluster manager, which provides information about the state of the cluster. Aurora uses that knowledge to make scheduling decisions. For example, when a machine experiences failure Aurora automatically reschedules those previously-running services onto a healthy machine in order to keep them running."

"Breaking distributed systems so you don't have to. Jepsen is a Clojure library. A test is a Clojure program which uses the Jepsen library to set up a distributed system, run a bunch of operations against that system, and verify that the history of those operations makes sense. Jepsen has been used to verify everything from eventually-consistent commutative databases to linearizable coordination systems to distributed task schedulers. It can also generate graphs of performance and availability, helping you characterize how a system responds to different faults. See jepsen.io for examples of the sorts of analyses you can carry out with Jepsen."

Importantísimo de ver... sobre todo para diferenciar bien entre un simple publicador de recursos, estilo openshift, de un verdadero administrador de recursos distribuidos (léase scheduler), como mesos.
