Through a process that can be described as automated load balancing, the swarm manager ensures that container workloads are assigned to run on the most appropriate host for optimal efficiency.
How does swarm work?
In the swarm mode model, each task invokes exactly one container. A task is analogous to a “slot” where the scheduler places a container. Once the container is live, the scheduler recognizes that the task is in a running state. If the container fails health checks or terminates, the task terminates.
Why do I need Docker Swarm?
