Orchestrate Windows Containers with Swarm

- [Instructor] It's one thing to have a single Windows container host or maybe two but once you're running production applications, you should consider container orchestration. For example, Docker Swarm, which is included with the Docker version that we've installed in Windows, allows you to orchestrate containers across multiple hosts in a cluster. For example, let's say you start off with a three node cluster. Each one of the hosts in a cluster is a worker node as it's known in Docker Swarm which means that they can run containerized applications. Ideally, you have it all managed by the Docker Universal Control Plane or UCP which is the fully supported Docker Enterprise grade platform. However, that's not really required simply to use Docker Swarm. In the event that a single node fails, the other nodes in the cluster will take over the applications that were running and restart those applications on the other nodes. The benefits to using Docker Swarm first off are high availability…
