In this lab, you will practice container clustering. When you're finished, you’ll have performed clustering using Docker Swarm mode.
Terms and conditions apply.
Challenge
Getting Started in the Lab Environment
Here are the initial instructions and explanation of the lab environment. Read this while your environment is busy creating itself from nothing. Yes, this violates physics; we know. How fun!
Challenge
Getting Started With Docker Swarm
To start this lab, you'll perform the initial verification steps. Then, you'll prepare the manager host for Swarm.
Challenge
Adding Worker Nodes to the Swarm
Next, you'll add workers to the Swarm. This enables you to build out the cluster with additional containers and services.
Challenge
Expanding the Swarm Cluster
In this final challenge, you'll put the Swarm cluster to use. You'll create a service, inspect it, and scale the cluster.
