Research for Practice: Cluster Scheduling for Datacenters

This installment of Research for Practice features a curated selection from Malte Schwarzkopf, who takes us on a tour of distributed cluster scheduling, from research to practice, and back again. With the rise of elastic compute resources, cluster management has become an increasingly hot topic in systems R&D, and a number of competing cluster managers including Kubernetes, Mesos, and Docker are currently jockeying for the crown in this space. Interested in the foundations behind these systems, and how to achieve fast, flexible, and fair scheduling? Malte's got you covered!
