Interview on Swarm
Prerequisites
- A machine running Linux Ubuntu 18.04 LTS as host operating system. Don't panic, we'll help you in this.
- Machine hardware requirements are minimum 12GB RAM, 4 CPU cores, and 100GB storage.
- Must have exceptional knowledge on Linux-based operating systems and it's commands.
- Must have good understanding and hands-on with Docker.
Objective
The main objective of the Swarm course is to help you deploy a sample CRM app service and Redis database service on Docker containers in the Swarm cluster. The CRM app is built on Python Flask micro framework and uses Redis as a database.
Audience
Anyone from the IT/software industry who is passionate and willing to implement container orchestration and clustering can start learning Swarm. It doesn't matter whether you are a fresher or an experienced candidate, we always start from ground zero.
