In Detail
Docker Swarm serves as one of the crucial components of the Docker ecosystem and offers a native solution for you to orchestrate containers. It’s turning out to be one of the preferred choices for Docker clustering thanks to its recent improvements. This book covers Swarm, Swarm Mode, and SwarmKit. It gives you a guided tour on how Swarm works and how to work with Swarm. It describes how to set up local test installations and then moves to huge distributed infrastructures. You will be shown how Swarm works internally, what’s new in Swarmkit, how to automate big Swarm deployments, and how to configure and operate a Swarm cluster on the public and private cloud.
This book will teach you how to meet the challenge of deploying massive production-ready applications and a huge number of containers on Swarm. You’ll also cover advanced topics that include volumes, scheduling, a Libnetwork deep dive, security, and platform scalability.
Style and approach A comprehensive guide that covers all aspects of Docker Swarm from setup to customization.
