Docker Swarm: Building a Highly Scalable Cluste
1. Is Docker Swarm Similar to Kubernetes?
Yes, Similar to Kubernetes, Docker Swarm is also a container orchestration tool.
2. Is Docker Swarm Better Than Kubernetes?
It depends on the use case. Docker Swarm is better for load balancing and is light weight while Kubernetes has more functionalities and has a better community support.
3. What is the Use of Docker Swarm?
Docker Swarm is used as a container orchestration tool. Therefore it’s use is to manage and control multiple containers at a time as a single service.
4. How Many Master Nodes can be Created With Docker Swarm?
Docker Swarm can handle at most 7 master nodes.
5. Does Docker Swarm Auto Scale?
No, Docker Swarm does not support auto scaling. Manual scaling has to be configured.
5. Does Docker Swarm Support Load Balancing?
Yes, Docker Swarm load balances traffic across multiple containers.
Docker Swarm: Building a Highly Scalable Cluster
Docker Swarm is one of the most popular container orchestration engines. It is not only used by professional engineers but also by people is their learning phase of how operations work. What makes Docker Swarm so popular is the fact that is very lightweight and very simple to understand – you don’t even have to learn a new CLI for Docker Swarm, we can use it with Docker CLI.
In this article, we will learn about Docker Swarm, its features, and use cases and will also go through a tutorial to create highly scalable clusters in Docker Swarm.
