Introduction and Overview of Docker Cluster documentation, docs, docker, cluster, infrastructure, automation Overview of Docker Cluster

Docker Cluster is a tool for lifecycle management of Docker clusters. With Cluster, you use a YAML file to configure your provider's resources. Then, with a single command, you provision and install all the resources from your configuration.

Using Docker Cluster is a three-step process:

  1. Ensure you have the credentials necessary to provision a cluster.

  2. Define the resources that make up your cluster in cluster.yml

  3. Run docker cluster create to have Cluster provision resources and install Docker Enterprise on the resources.

A cluster.yml file resembles the following example:

  variable:
    region: us-east-2
    ucp_password:
      type: prompt

  provider:
    aws:
      region: ${region}

  cluster:
    engine:
      version: "ee-stable-18.09.5"
    ucp:
      version: "docker/ucp:3.1.6"
      username: "admin"
      password: ${ucp_password}

  resource:
    aws_instance:
      managers:
        quantity: 1

For more information about Cluster files, refer to the Cluster file reference.

Docker Cluster has commands for managing the whole lifecycle of your cluster:

  • Create and destroy clusters
  • Scale up or Scale down clusters
  • Upgrade clusters
  • View the status of clusters
  • Backup and Restore clusters
