Mesosphere recently open-sourced its Data Center Operating System (DC/OS) for developers to tinker and build upon as their app's running framework.
The sudden announcement of its DC/OS public wide access is driven by the company's vision to further broaden its community of developers, partners and users, which in turn will help Mesosphere further enhance the capabilities of its datacenter technology.
This move is also supported by Mesosphere partners including Cisco, Autodesk, EMC, Confluent, Hewlett-Packard (HP) Enterprise, Equinix, Puppet, Accenture, NGINX, Verizon, and Microsoft. These companies have previously been granted exclusive access to the DC/OS platform.
Through the platform's general availability, other companies can now take advantage of the data solutions DC/OS offers to help them easily adapt to the current technology market and employ "advanced operational and architectural practices" as seen in companies such as Yelp, Twitter, Netflix and Apple.
Initial steps to hire a team of system engineers that develop the complexities in programming a software's internal structure may now be skipped as DC/OS "eliminates much of this work."
Processes involved in "Docker containers to big data systems" are handled by Mesosphere's platform, with specified features that include:

The current technological model is changing every day and Mesosphere hopes to deliver a powerful tool to handle the constant changes in the industry.
DC/OS "is all about the community" and the company urges the public to "download it, hack on it, try to break it," or whatever developers have in mind to take advantage of the DC/OS platform anytime, anywhere.
