DC/OS vs Scalr: What are the differences?

What is DC/OS? The Datacenter Operating System. The easiest way to run microservices, big data, and containers in production. Unlike traditional operating systems, DC/OS spans multiple machines within a network, aggregating their resources to maximize utilization by distributed applications.

What is Scalr? Scalr is cloud management software for public & private infrastructure. Scalr is not an infrastructure provider or reseller. The infrastructure you deploy on is yours: you give us the keys to your infrastructure cloud so we can make the API calls to the provider on your behalf and so we can also rev up or power down servers for you. When traffic piles up, Scalr detects the increased load, commissions new servers for you from the cloud, and then spreads the load. When using Scalr ConfigTemplates, you can easily make configuration changes for services such as MySQL and Apache. Scalr does the heavy work, pushing those changes out to your servers.

DC/OS belongs to "Cluster Management" category of the tech stack, while Scalr can be primarily classified under "Cloud Management".

Some of the features offered by DC/OS are:

  • High Resource Utilization
  • Mixed Workload Colocation
  • Container Orchestration

On the other hand, Scalr provides the following key features:

  • MySQL replication
  • Scalable app servers
  • Scalable database

DC/OS is an open source tool with 2.17K GitHub stars and 458 GitHub forks. Here's a link to DC/OS's open source repository on GitHub.
