Application cookbook for installing [Mesosphere][]'s [Marathon][]. [Marathon][] is an [Apache Mesos][] framework for long-running services.

Chef 12.0.0+

This cookbook also assumes you will be running a zookeeper cluster for production use of Mesos and Marathon.

This cookbook also depends on the [mesos][] cookbook.

The following cookbooks are dependencies:

• apt
• yum
• java
• upstart (process management)
• mesos (used for installing the Mesos libraries)

The following cookbooks are recommended:

• zookeeper

Newer versions of marathon will support the --disable-ha option, so the service will not depend on zookeeper.

Tested on

• CentOS 6.7

This cookbook includes cross-platform testing support via test-kitchen, see TESTING.md.
