Description
Lab Overview
Docker swarm mode is Docker's integrated cluster and container orchestration feature. This Lab provides you with a pre-created cluster that is Docker swarm ready. In the Lab, you will manage your cluster using Docker swarm mode and learn common commands and capabilities. By the end, you will have implemented basic swarm monitoring, as well as deployed and scaled a multi-service application.
