Titus is Netflix’s container management platform. Titus includes a sophisticated scheduler based on Apache Mesos that handles not only advanced resource scheduling, but also key operational aspects to manage clusters of over 1000’s of nodes. Titus also has a container runtime based on top of Docker that provides advanced security, cpu, disk, memory and network isolation and features such as GPU’s and NFS storage. Titus currently launches millions of containers per week across three regions in the AWS public cloud across over 1000 Netflix workloads.
