Description

There have been two projects to add Docker support to Mesos, first via an executor, and more recently via an external containerizer written in Python - Deimos: https://github.com/mesosphere/deimos

We've got a lot of feedback from folks who use Docker and Mesos, and the main wish was to make Docker a first class citizen in Mesos instead of a plugin that needs to be installed separately. Mesos has been using Linux containers for a long time, first via LXC, then via cgroups, and now also via the external containerizer. For a long time it wasn't clear what the winning technology would be, but with Docker becoming the de-facto standard for handling containers I think Mesos should make it a first class citizen and part of core.

Let's use this JIRA to track wishes/feedback on the implementation.
