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?


That concludes the exploration of basic concepts of the new Swarm features we got with Docker v1.12+.

Is this everything there is to know to run a Swarm cluster successfully? Not even close! What we explored by now is only the beginning. There are quite a few questions waiting to be answered. How do we expose our services to the public? How do we deploy new releases without downtime? I'll try to give answers to those and quite a few other questions in the chapters that follow. The next one will be dedicated to the exploration of the ways we can expose our services to the public. We'll try to integrate a proxy with a Swarm cluster. To do that, we need to dive deeper into Swarm networking.

Now is the time to take a break before diving into the next chapter. As before, we'll destroy the machines we created and start fresh:

docker-machine rm -f node-1 node-2
