Apache Mesos: Cluster Management tool , universally used to install analytical frameworks like Hadoop, spark or storm on clusters.
For high availability of Mesos(master) it uses zookeeper.
To install more than analytical framework, for eg. to install ruby, or rails, or pythong on servers it can be used. Twitter Aurora is developer to provide this feature over mesos
