One pool. Many frameworks.
Share CPUs, memory, ports, and other resources across distributed applications without forcing every workload into a single scheduler.
Apache Mesos®, actively continued
Cluster infrastructure,
continued.
ClusterD carries the proven Apache Mesos® model forward—efficient resource isolation and sharing across distributed frameworks, built for modern Linux systems.
Why ClusterD
A durable foundation for distributed systems.
Some infrastructure ideas outlast the trend cycle. ClusterD preserves the Mesos® two-level scheduling model while maintaining the system for today's Linux and container environments.
Modern Linux controls.
cgroups v2 is the required resource-control foundation from ClusterD 1.11.0-0.6.0 onward.
Choose the execution path.
Run workloads through the native Mesos® containerizer or integrate with the Docker containerizer.
Designed to be operated.
High-availability master setups, maintenance primitives, quotas, reservations, and observability are documented parts of the platform.
Infrastructure you can inspect.
Build with CMake, enable SSL support, study the implementation, and contribute under the Apache License 2.0.

Architecture
Coordination without a monolith.
ClusterD separates resource coordination from application scheduling. Masters offer resources; framework schedulers decide what to run; agents execute the work.
Understand the architecture- 01
Coordinate
Masters track agents and make available resources visible to registered frameworks.
- 02
Schedule
Each framework applies its own workload-specific scheduling logic.
- 03
Execute
Agents launch and isolate tasks across the dynamically shared node pool.
“Good infrastructure should not disappear just because the industry moves on to its next idea.”
ClusterD exists to keep the Apache Mesos® architecture maintained, secure, and useful for the people who depend on it.
