Native Docker Clustering with Swarm

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.

MacVLAN


The new Driver in 1.12 is MacVLAN. MacVLAN is a performant driver designed to allow the Docker network to plumb to the existing VLAN, for example, a corporate one, letting everything to continue to work. There is a scenario where we will gradually migrate workloads from the original VLAN to Docker and MacVLAN will help plumb the Docker cluster to the original VLAN. This will make the Docker networks integrated with the underlay network and the containers will be able to work in the same VLAN.

We could just create a network with the MacVLAN driver and specify the real subnet to the network. We can also specify a range of IP addresses only for the containers. Also, we can exclude some IP addresses, for example, the gateway, from assigning to containers with --aux-address. The parent interface of the MacVLAN driver is the interface we would like to connect this network to. As previously mentioned, MacVLAN yields the best performance of all drivers. Its Linux implementation isextremely...
