See the addons/ directory for the most up-to-date information.
- Security
- High availability
- Rapid immutable deployment (with Terraform + Packer)
The base platform contains control nodes that manage the cluster and any number of agent nodes. Containers automatically register themselves into DNS so that other services can locate them.
The control nodes manage a single datacenter. Each control node runs Consul for service discovery, Mesos and Kubernetes leaders for resource scheduling and Mesos frameworks like Marathon.
The Consul Ansible role will automatically bootstrap and join multiple Consul nodes. The Mesos role will provision highly-availabile Mesos and ZooKeeper environments when more than one node is provisioned.
Agent nodes launch containers and other Mesos- or Kubernetes-based workloads.
Edge nodes are responsible for proxying external traffic into services running in the cluster.
All development is done on the master branch. Tested, stable versions are
identified via git tags. To get started, you can clone or fork this repo:
git clone https://github.com/mantl/mantl.git
To use a stable version, use git tag to list the stable versions:
git tag
0.1.0
0.2.0
...
1.2.0
git checkout 1.2.0
A Vagrantfile is provided that provisions everything on a few VMs. To run, first ensure that your system has at least 2GB of RAM free, then just:
vagrant up
Note:
- There is no support for Windows at this time, however support is planned.
- Use the latest version of Vagrant for best results. Version 1.8 is required.
- There is no support for the VMware Fusion Vagrant provider; hence your provider is set to Virtualbox in your Vagrantfile.
The only requirements for running Mantl are working installations of Terraform and Ansible (or Vagrant, if you're deploying to VMs). See the "Development" sections for requirements for developing Mantl.
Please refer to the Getting Started Guide, which covers cloud deployments.

If you're interested in contributing to the project, install
Terraform and the Python modules
listed in requirements.txt and follow the Getting Started instructions. To
build the docs, enter the docs directory and run make html. The docs will
be output to _build/html.
Good issues to start with are marked with the low hanging fruit tag.
To keep your fork up to date.
git clone [email protected]:YOUR-USERNAME/mantl.git

git remote add upstream git://github.com/mantl/mantl.git
git fetch upstream
git pull upstream master
If you encounter any issues, please open a Github Issue against the project. We review issues daily.
We also have a gitter chat room. Drop by and ask any questions you might have. We'd be happy to walk you through your first deployment.
