"User job requests kick off a bidding process by the machines in the cluster. Based on the received bids the engine assigns the job to a machine." yeah.. superficially that sounds very similar to mesos.

another system that can do cluster wide containerization and orchestration across clouds/baremetal is juju.

The end goal for all seems to be in utilization efficiency and ease of management at scale of a host of application topologies.
