Managing Load Balancing and Scale in Docker Swarm Mode Clusters

Course Overview
Hey, how are you doing? My name is Elton and this is Managing Load Balancing and Scale in Docker Swarm Mode Clusters. I've always found swarm mode to be a powerful container orchestrator that's easy to use, and I've been running it in production since it was released in 2016. If you're ready to take your containerized apps to production, but you need to understand how the orchestrator helps you with load balancing, scale, updates, and maintenance, then this course is for you. Over the next 2 hours I'll show you how a service discovery and load balancing works in swarm mode and the configuration options that Docker gives you. I'll show you how to scale up your services and your swarm and how to get the most out of it by running multiple apps and fronting them with a reverse proxy running in a container. I'll show you how to take nodes out of the swarm safely for maintenance and how you can configure your services with rolling updates and automatic rollbacks, which makes your deployment fast and reliable. And my demo solution uses a mixture of Windows and Linux containers, so I'll be showing you how all that works with a hybrid swarm, made up with a mixture of Linux and Windows nodes. By the end of the course, you'll understand just how powerful swarm mode is and you'll be comfortable moving your Dockerized apps into production knowing that you can scale and manage them easily.
