CoreOS vs Mesosphere: What are the differences?
What is CoreOS? Linux for Massive Server Deployments. CoreOS is designed for security, consistency, and reliability. Instead of installing packages via yum or apt, CoreOS uses Linux containers to manage your services at a higher level of abstraction. A single service's code and all dependencies are packaged within a container that can be run on one or many CoreOS machines.
What is Mesosphere? Combine your datacenter servers and cloud instances into one shared pool. Mesosphere offers a layer of software that organizes your machines, VMs, and cloud instances and lets applications draw from a single pool of intelligently- and dynamically-allocated resources, increasing efficiency and reducing operational complexity.
CoreOS belongs to "Operating Systems" category of the tech stack, while Mesosphere can be primarily classified under "Cluster Management".
"Container management" is the primary reason why developers consider CoreOS over the competitors, whereas "Devops" was stated as the key factor in picking Mesosphere.
According to the StackShare community, CoreOS has a broader approval, being mentioned in 45 company stacks & 12 developers stacks; compared to Mesosphere, which is listed in 12 company stacks and 8 developer stacks.
