+# Apache Cotton
+Apache Cotton (previously named [Mysos](https://blog.twitter.com/2015/another-look-at-mysql-at-twitter-and-incubating-mysos))
+is an Apache Mesos framework for running MySQL instances. It dramatically simplifies the management
+of a MySQL cluster and is designed to offer:
 
  * Efficient hardware utilization through multi-tenancy (in performance-isolated containers)
  * High reliability through preserving the MySQL state during failure and automatic backing up to/restoring from HDFS
  * An automated self-service option for bringing up new MySQL clusters
  * High availability through automatic MySQL master failover
  * An elastic solution that allows users to easily scale up and down a MySQL cluster by changing the number of slave instances

 - `mysos_scheduler`: The scheduler that connects to Mesos master and manages the MySQL clusters.
