In this chapter, you will learn how to create real Swarm clusters with thousands of nodes; specifically we'll cover the following topics:
Tools to deploy large Swarms
Swarm2k: One of the largest Swarm mode cluster ever built, made of 2,300 nodes
Swarm3k: The second experiment, a cluster with 4,700 nodes
How to plan hardware resources
HA cluster topologies
Swarm infrastructures management, networking, and security
Monitoring dashboards
What you learned from the Swarm2k and Swarm3k experiments
