Vagrant Deployed Mesos Cluster with Calico

This guide will show you how to use Vagrant to launch a Mesos Cluster with Calico installed and ready to network Docker Containerizer tasks.

1. Install Dependencies

This guide requires a host machine with:

  • VirtualBox to host the virtual machines.
  • Vagrant to install and configure the machines in Virtual Box.
  • Git

2. Download Demo Files

git clone https://github.com/projectcalico/calico.git

3. Startup

cd calico/v1.6/getting-started/mesos/vagrant/
vagrant up

That’s it! Your Mesos Cluster is ready to use!
