12: Deploying apps to Swarm

Deploying and managing cloud-native microservices applications at scale is hard. Fortunately, Docker Swarm makes it easy.

I’ve split this chapter as follows:

  • Deploying apps with Docker Stacks – The TLDR
  • Build a Swarm lab
  • The sample app
  • Deploy the app
  • Manage the app

Deploying apps with Docker Stacks – The TLDR

Docker Stacks combine the benefits of Compose and Swarm to create a platform for easy deployment and management of complex multi-container apps on secure, highly available infrastructure.

You build a swarm, define your apps in Compose files, and deploy and manage them with the docker stack command.

If you’ve been following along, you’ll already know Compose and Swarm, so you’ll find Docker Stacks easy.
