The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm

By: Viktor Farcic

Overview of this book

Viktor Farcic's latest book, The DevOps 2.1 Toolkit: Docker Swarm, takes you deeper into one of the major subjects of his international best seller, The DevOps 2.0 Toolkit, and shows you how to successfully integrate Docker Swarm into your DevOps toolset. Viktor shares with you his expert knowledge in all aspects of building, testing, deploying, and monitoring services inside Docker Swarm clusters. You'll go through all the tools required for running a cluster. You'll travel through the whole process with clusters running locally on a laptop. Once you're confident with that outcome, Viktor shows you how to translate your experience to different hosting providers like AWS, Azure, and DigitalOcean. Viktor has updated his DevOps 2.0 framework in this book to use the latest and greatest features and techniques introduced in Docker. We'll go through many practices and even more tools. While there will be a lot of theory, this is a hands-on book. You won't be able to complete it by reading it on the metro on your way to work. You'll have to read this book while in front of the computer and get your hands dirty.

Creating the cluster


This time we'll create more services than before so we'll need a bit bigger cluster. It's not that the services will be very demanding but that our VMs have only one CPU and 1GB memory each. Such machines are not something to brag about. This time, we'll create a cluster that consists of five machines. Apart from increasing the capacity of the cluster, everything else will be the same as before, so there's no good reason to go through the process again. We'll simply execute scripts/dm-swarm-5.sh (https://github.com/vfarcic/cloud-provisioning/blob/master/scripts/dm-swarm-5.sh):

All the commands from this chapter are available in the 09-monitoring.sh (https://gist.github.com/vfarcic/271fe5ab7eb6a3307b9f062eadcc3127) Gist.

cd cloud-provisioning

git pull

eval $(docker-machine env swarm-1)

docker node ls

The output of the docker node ls command is as follows (IDs are removed for brevity):
