Apache Mesos is a distributed systems kernel that efficiently manages resources across multiple frameworks, making it ideal for large-scale deployments, while Docker is a containerization platform that simplifies application deployment and scaling, particularly for microservices. The key difference lies in their primary focus: Mesos on resource management and orchestration for diverse workloads, and Docker on lightweight container management for faster application delivery.
