Aspire     Load Balancing Multi and Hybrid Cloud Solutions     Multi and Hybrid Cloud Solutions Track 2: Solutions for Multi-Cloud Load Balancing
Docker Swarm provides all the tools necessary to spin up Docker Swarm clusters with relative ease. It is also readily available, being integrated directly into Docker Engine, which means Docker itself now provides orchestration. Docker Swarm's routing mesh networking model is excellent. But it lacks availability, visibility, security and control that more complex, production deployments require, so some help is needed to fill in the missing components. In this course, you'll explore Docker components and objects, as well as how Docker deployments differ from traditional deployments, with a focus on the microservices architecture afforded by Docker's container technology. You'll also learn how microservice architecture has changed load balancing deployments. Next, you'll investigate fully versus self-managed cloud services, Docker load balancing scenarios including Docker Swarm, NGINX open-source load balancing, and using an external edge router in a Docker Swarm cluster. Finally, you'll learn how to install Docker and configure load balancing for various example scenarios.
