Docker Swarm Cluster
Docker Swarm is Docker's native clustering and orchestration mode that turns a pool of Docker Engine hosts into a single virtual cluster, scheduling containers as services with built-in load balancing and rolling updates. It ships built into the Docker Engine rather than as a separate install.
Baseline topologies
| Topology | Minimum nodes | Roles |
|---|---|---|
| quorum-managers-plus-workers | 3 | manager, worker |
What drives the cost
- Manager nodes
- Control-plane nodes that maintain Swarm quorum and scheduling state.
- Worker nodes
- Nodes that run your application containers.
- Planned containers per worker
- Expected steady-state container count on each worker node.
Where it runs
