 <p>Though it's a bit outdated, it may be helpful to read <a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26705201/whats-the-difference-between-apaches-mesos-and-googles-kubernetes">What's the difference between Apache's Mesos and Google's Kubernetes</a>, to get some of the basics right. Also, note that Mesos operates on a different level than Kubernetes/Marathon/Chronos. Last but not least, see <a href="https://speakerdeck.com/tnachen/docker-swarm-plus-mesos" rel="nofollow">Docker Swarm + Mesos</a> by Timothy Chen, keeping in mind that Marathon and Swarm can operate simultaneously on the same Mesos cluster.</p>
