Description

As a newcomer to Aurora, I would like the documentation to be more upfront with what Aurora has to offer.

Some important questions:

• What is the mission statement / elevator pitch of Aurora?
• What features does it offer? Are there any unique selling points I should know about? (quota for production tasks, preemption of non-production tasks, zookeeper-based service discovery, ...)
• Are there usecases it is NOT suited for?
• Who is using it?

We can learn from Marathon [1 [2 and Singularity [3 which are performing an excellent job at selling their solution to a potential user.
