Mesosphere’s DC/OS 1.11 focuses on simplifying hybrid cloud management

Cloud database company Mesosphere announced version 1.11 of its data center operating system (DC/OS) container platform, with updates centered around Kubernetes, edge and multi-cloud operations. Mesosphere’s DC/OS serves as a distributed system, which provides common services to software container applications. The cluster management functionality behind DC/OS is provided by the open-source Apache Mesos project. It abstracts the data center into a pool of computer resources to make it easier to run distributed systems at scale, according to the company. Among the new features on DC/OS include the general availability of Kubernetes-as-a-Service, which enables users to install and scale up production-grade Kubernetes clusters.
