Chapter 13. Orchestrating services on a cluster of Docker hosts with Swarm

This chapter covers

How Docker application deployments work and options
Deploying a multitier application to Docker Swarm
How Swarm attempts to converge the Docker application deployment to the desired state declared by operators
How Swarm ensures the desired number of replicas are running around the cluster within the declared placement and resource constraints
Routing of request traffic from a cluster node to network service instances and how collaborating services reach each other using Docker networks
Controlling placement of Docker Service containers within the cluster
