Docker swarm mode cluster on Azure

What's in it?

This resource manager template will provision the following resources:

• A virtual network
• An availability set
• 3 virtual machines with the AV set created above. (the numbers, names can be parameterized as per your needs)
• A load balancer (with public port that round-robins to the 3 VMs on port 80. And allows inbound NAT to the 3 machine via port 5000, 5001 and 5002 to ssh port 22).
• Configures 3 VMs as docker swarm mode manager.
• A Virtual machine scale set (VMSS) in the same VNET.
• 3 Nodes that are joined as worker into the above swarm.
• Load balancer for VMSS (that allows inbound NATs starts from range 50000 to ssh port 22 on VMSS)

Hope you find it ineteresting!

Powershell deployment

I have a handy powershell script into the repo (Go.ps1) too, which can be used to automate the entire cluster deployment - i.e. can be launched via a automated workflow process (CI/CD for example).

Explanations

I wrote a blog post to describe little details of the template, you can read it here.

Thanks for reading. Cheers!
