* [three Linux hosts which can communicate over a network, with Docker installed](#three-networked-host-machines)
* [Docker Engine 1.12 or later installed](#docker-engine-1-12-or-newer)

### Three networked host machines
The tutorial uses three networked host machines as nodes in the swarm. These can
be virtual machines on your PC, in a data center, or on a cloud service
provider. This tutorial uses the following machine names:
This tutorial requires three Linux hosts which have Docker installed and can
communicate over a network. These can be physical machines, virtual machines,
Amazon EC2 instances, or hosted in some other way.
One of these machines will be a manager (called `manager1`) and two of them will
be workers (`worker1` and `worker2`).
* manager1
* worker1
* worker2
>**Note**: You can follow many of the tutorial steps to test single-node swarm
as well, in which case you need only one host. Multi-node commands will not
