Filters
=======
The `Docker Swarm` scheduler comes with multiple filters.
Thoses filters are used to schedule containers on a subset of nodes.
`Docker Swarm` currently supports 3 filters:
* [Constraint](README.md#constraint-filter)
* [Port](README.md#port-filter)
* [Healty](README.md#healthy-filter)
## Constraint Filter
Constraints are key/value pairs associated to particular nodes. You can see them as *node tags*.
When creating a container, the user can select a subset of nodes that should be considered for scheduling by specifying one or more sets of matching key/value pairs.
This approach has several practical use cases such as:
* Selecting specific host properties (such as `storage=ssd`, in order to schedule containers on specific hardware).
* Tagging nodes based on their physical location (`region=us-east`, to force containers to run on a given location).
* Logical cluster partioning (`environment=production`, to split a cluster into sub-clusters with different properties).
To tag a node with a specific set of key/value pairs, one must pass a list of `--label` options at docker startup time.
For instance, let's start `node-1` with the `storage=ssd` label:
```bash
$ docker -d --label storage=ssd
$ swarm join --discovery token://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --addr=192.168.0.42:2375
```
Again, but this time `node-2` with `storage=disk`:
```bash
$ docker -d --label storage=disk
$ swarm join --discovery token://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX --addr=192.168.0.43:2375
```
Once the nodes are registered with the cluster, the master pulls their respective tags and will take them into account when scheduling new containers.
Let's start a MySQL server and make sure it gets good I/O performance by selecting nodes with flash drives:
```
$ docker run -d -P -e constraint:storage=ssd --name db mysql
f8b693db9cd6
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NODE NAMES
f8b693db9cd6 mysql:latest "mysqld" Less than a second ago running 192.168.0.42:49178->3306/tcp node-1 db
```
In this case, the master selected all nodes that met the `storage=ssd` constraint and applied resource management on top of them, as discussed earlier.
`node-1` was selected in this example since it's the only host running flash.
Now we want to run an `nginx` frontend in our cluster. However, we don't want *flash* drives since we'll mostly write logs to disk.
```
$ docker run -d -P -e constraint:storage=disk --name frontend nginx
f8b693db9cd6
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NODE NAMES
963841b138d8 nginx:latest "nginx" Less than a second ago running 192.168.0.43:49177->80/tcp node-2 frontend
f8b693db9cd6 mysql:latest "mysqld" Up About a minute running 192.168.0.42:49178->3306/tcp node-1 db
```
The scheduler selected `node-2` since it was started with the `storage=disk` label.
#### Standard Constraints
Additionally, a standard set of constraints can be used when scheduling containers without specifying them when starting the node.
Those tags are sourced from `docker info` and currently include:
* OperatingSystem
* KernelVersion
* Driver
* ExecutionDriver
## Port Filter
With this filter, `ports` are considered as a unique resource.
```
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 nginx
87c4376856a8
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NODE NAMES
87c4376856a8 nginx:latest "nginx" Less than a second ago running 192.168.0.42:80->80/tcp node-1 prickly_engelbart
```
Docker cluster selects a node where the public `80` port is available and schedules a container on it, in this case `node-1`.
Attempting to run another container with the public `80` port will result in clustering selecting a different node, since that port is already occupied on `node-1`:
```
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 nginx
963841b138d8
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NODE NAMES
963841b138d8 nginx:latest "nginx" Less than a second ago running 192.168.0.43:80->80/tcp node-2 dreamy_turing
87c4376856a8 nginx:latest "nginx" Up About a minute running 192.168.0.42:80->80/tcp node-1 prickly_engelbart
```
Again, repeating the same command will result in the selection of `node-3`, since port `80` is neither available on `node-1` nor `node-2`:
```
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 nginx
963841b138d8
$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE COMMAND CREATED STATUS PORTS NODE NAMES
f8b693db9cd6 nginx:latest "nginx" Less than a second ago running 192.168.0.44:80->80/tcp node-3 stoic_albattani
963841b138d8 nginx:latest "nginx" Up About a minute running 192.168.0.43:80->80/tcp node-2 dreamy_turing
87c4376856a8 nginx:latest "nginx" Up About a minute running 192.168.0.42:80->80/tcp node-1 prickly_engelbart
```
Finally, Docker Cluster will refuse to run another container that requires port `80` since not a single node in the cluster has it available:
```
$ docker run -d -p 80:80 nginx
2014/10/29 00:33:20 Error response from daemon: no resources availalble to schedule container
```
## Health Filter
This filter will prevent scheduling containers and unhealthy nodes.
