Viktor shares with you his expert knowledge in all aspects of building, testing, deploying, and monitoring services inside Docker Swarm clusters. You'll go through all the tools required for running a cluster. You'll travel through the whole process with clusters running locally on a laptop. Once you're confident with that outcome, Viktor shows you how to translate your experience to different hosting providers like AWS, Azure, and DigitalOcean. Viktor has updated his DevOps 2.0 framework in this book to use the latest and greatest features and techniques introduced in Docker. We'll go through many practices and even more tools.

probably the best thing to learn docker swarm mode.

Despite such long book it is still not enough to master the topic. I think it would be better if it used traefik proxy not his custom solutions.

[Rodion Krivoshein · Rating 5 out of 5]

Very explanatory introduction into what Docker Swarm offers alongside the opportunity to get a hand-on of everyhing offered in the book (works smoothly on a *nix machines, slightly challenging, but doable on Windows ones).

[Bogdan Mutiu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Accurate info, easy to read and concise work

Keep up this manner of doing things, as technology evolves at a high-speed and we must follow up with that pace.

A very good book giving hands on steps to try out docker swarm and create and CI/CD environment.
