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.

Embracing Destruction: Pets versus Cattle

What now?


Put the monitoring system into practice. Don't try to make it perfect from the first attempt. You'll fail if you do. Iterate over dashboards. Start small, grow with time. If you are a bigger organization, let each team create their own set of dashboards and share what worked well, as well as what failed to provide enough value.

Monitoring is not a simple thing to do unless you want to spend all your time in front of a dashboard. The solution should be designed in such a way that you need only a glance to discover whether a part of the system requires your attention.

Now let us destroy everything we did. The next chapter will be a new subject with a new set of challenges and solutions:
