Chapter 4. Creating a Production-Grade Swarm
In this chapter, you will learn how to create real Swarm clusters with thousands of nodes; specifically we'll cover the following topics:
- Tools to deploy large Swarms
- Swarm2k: One of the largest Swarm mode cluster ever built, made of 2,300 nodes
- Swarm3k: The second experiment, a cluster with 4,700 nodes
- How to plan hardware resources
- HA cluster topologies
- Swarm infrastructures management, networking, and security
- Monitoring dashboards
- What you learned from the Swarm2k and Swarm3k experiments
Tools
With Swarm Mode, we can easily design a production-grade cluster.
The principles and architecture we're illustrating here are important in general and give a foundation on how to architect production installations, regardless ...
