In this post, we will add more node to the Swarm cluster. If you have not gone through the previous post, please go through it first as both are related.

Also, with the advent of Microservices, each component of a web based application typically runs on separate containers.

In this post, we will create multiple containers of an application and will run each container in Docker Swarm.
