Docker Swarm

Docker Swarm is Docker's native clustering and orchestration tool, enabling the management of a cluster of Docker nodes as a single virtual system. Integrated directly into the Docker Engine, it allows users to deploy, manage, and scale containerized applications seamlessly across multiple hosts. By utilizing Docker Swarm, organizations can achieve high availability, load balancing, and simplified service discovery, all while maintaining the familiar Docker interface.

Pros

    Amazon EC2

    AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (AWS - EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers. AWS EC2۪s simple web service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon۪s proven computing environment. AWS EC2 reduces the time required to obtain and boot new server instances to minutes, allowing you to quickly scale capacity, both up and down, as your computing requirements change.
