Introduction: Docker Swarm , a native clustering and scheduling tool for Docker containers, allows developers to create and manage a cluster of Docker nodes as a single virtual system. One of the fundamental concepts in Docker Swarm is the "service," which is an abstract definition of an application that can be deployed on the swarm. Docker and Kubernetes Training Replicated Services: Replicated services are the more common type of service in Docker Swarm. When you create a replicated service, you specify the number of identical tasks (containers) that you want to run. Docker Swarm ensures that the specified number of replicas is maintained across the swarm. If a node fails or a task crashes, Docker Swarm will reschedule the tasks on available nodes to maintain the desired state. Key Characteristics of Replicated Services: Scalability: You can easily scale up or down the number of replicas. For instance, if demand increases, you can scale up the service to run
