Auto scaling like kubernetes horizontal

[yank1]

Is there any solution like kubernetes horizontal to auto scale compose with Swarm?

Thx

Not available today. Swarm uses Docker-Compose to scale statically. CPU/QPS monitoring is needed to do auto scaling. Swarm doesn't have that yet.

Perhaps this solves the issue?

@dongluochen Could you indicate what tickets could be linked to this issue in order to implement autoscaling in docker swarm?

Hi,

Looking for this feature to have with docker swarm to be able scale container apps based on CPU usage automatically like in kubernetes.

Hi,

Anyone has any other alternative solutions to achieve automatic container scaling with docker swarm based on CPU usage?

+1 . Without scaling swarm is not complete :(

I see Docker implementing this in their CLI and stack/compose files using some simple rules e.g. if CPU reaches 80% or memory reachers 60%, scale up and redistribute my containers accross the new node.

Docker would then provide an extensibility point for Cloud vendors like AWS/Azure. They could develop plugins like they do for volume mounts that implement the ability to add or remove Docker nodes.
