In this chapter, we got familiar with the concept of consensus and discovery service. We understood that they play an essential role in orchestration clusters, as they provide services such as fault-tolerance and safe configurations. We analyzed a consensus algorithm, such as Raft in detail, before looking to two concrete Raft discovery services implementations, Etcd and Consul, putting things in practice and re-architecting basic examples with them. In the next chapter we're now going to start exploring SwarmKit and Swarm that use the embedded Etcd library.

Overview of this book
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.
