docker-swarm

What problem does it solve?

The Skill automates the management of Docker Swarm clusters, stacks, and services, reducing manual toil and improving consistency across environments.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Centralized Swarm orchestration: deploy and update stacks, manage services, and scale replicas across nodes.
• Node and network awareness: inspect node health, manage overlay networks, and ensure secure inter-service communication.
• Read-only verification & guided deployments: leverage SSH for checks and AWX templates for deployments, with safety gates and audit trails.
• Real-world scenario: Provision a 3-manager production Swarm, deploy a multi-service app, and perform zero-downtime updates using rolling updates.

Quick Start

Connect to a Swarm manager and verify status with Docker CLI commands such as docker node ls and docker service ls. Use AWX Job Template 68 or Workflow 65 to deploy or update stacks and services in production or development environments. For read-only checks, SSH to a manager node (e.g., ssh ansible@huey.bjzy.me) and run docker service ps or docker stack ls.
