Docker+Swarm+Terminology

Docker Swarm is a cluster management and orchestration feature of Docker that allows multiple Docker hosts to operate in swarm mode as managers and workers. It maintains the desired state of services, dispatching tasks to worker nodes and ensuring load balancing for external access. Nodes can be distributed across physical and cloud machines, with manager nodes overseeing orchestration and task management.

Docker Swarm : Terminology


Docker : Docker Swarm

➤ Docker Swarm : The cluster management and orchestration


features embedded in the Docker Engine are built
using swarmkit.
➤ A swarm consists of multiple Docker hosts which run
in swarm mode and act as managers (to manage membership
and delegation) and workers (which run swarm services).
➤ Host : Docker host can be a manager, a worker, or perform both
roles.
➤ Service : When you create a service, you define its optimal state
(number of replicas, network and storage resources available to
it, ports the service exposes to the outside world, and more).
Docker : Docker Swarm

➤ Docker Swarm : Docker Swarm maintains the Service Desired


State. For instance, if a worker node becomes unavailable,
Docker schedules that node’s tasks on other nodes.
➤ Task : Task is a running container which is part of a swarm
service and managed by a swarm manager.
Docker : Docker Swarm

➤ Nodes : A node is an instance of the Docker engine participating in


the swarm.
➤ You can run one or more nodes on a single physical computer or
cloud server, but production swarm deployments typically include
Docker nodes distributed across multiple physical and cloud
machines.
➤ To deploy your application to a swarm, you submit a service
definition to a manager node. The manager node dispatches units of
work called tasks to worker nodes.
➤ Manager nodes also perform the orchestration and cluster
management functions required to maintain the desired state of the
swarm. Manager nodes elect a single leader to conduct orchestration
tasks.
Docker : Docker Swarm

➤ Worker nodes receive and execute tasks dispatched from


manager nodes.
➤ Service : A service is the definition of the tasks to execute on
the manager or worker nodes.
➤ When you create a service, you specify which container image
to use and which commands to execute inside running
containers.
➤ Task : A task carries a Docker container and the commands
to run inside the container.
➤ Once a task is assigned to a node, it cannot move to another
node. It can only run on the assigned node or fail.
Docker : Docker Swarm

➤ Load Balancing : Swarm manager uses ingress load


balancing to expose the services you want to make available
externally to the swarm.
➤ External components, such as cloud load balancers, can access
the service on the PublishedPort of any node in the cluster
whether or not the node is currently running the task for the
service. All nodes in the swarm route ingress connections to a
running task instance.
