PHP implements open source Swarm container orchestration

With the popularity of cloud computing and containerization, Docker has become the iconic container technology in the industry. As one of Docker's container orchestration tools, Swarm also plays an important role in containerization technology. This article will introduce how to implement open source Swarm container orchestration through PHP, as well as specific operations in practical applications.

1. Introduction to Swarm container orchestration

Swarm is one of Docker’s own cluster management and container orchestration tools. It can create, start, stop and delete containers through API or command line, and supports multiple hosts to work together, connect multiple Docker Daemons to form a large-scale container cluster, and provides an external interface so that developers can Easily manage and deploy container applications.

The architecture diagram of Swarm is as follows:

Swarm contains three main components:

1. Manager: is the control node of Swarm, responsible for creating and scheduling tasks. Understand the existing containers and services on all nodes and integrate them into an unallocated pool;
2. Worker: It is the worker node of Swarm and can assign containers (called tasks) to worker nodes. And execute the process in the container, report the status of the container to the Manager through the API;
3. Tasks: is the unit of work in Swarm, which consists of one or more containers, manages the life cycle of the container, and can Run on multiple nodes to achieve load balancing and high availability.

2. PHP API development

By using the Swarm API, we can develop a Swarm container orchestration management system that is easy to manage through the PHP language. PHP API can create, start, stop and delete tasks to facilitate the management of containers on multiple nodes.

The following is the code related to implementing these functions:

<?php
// 使用PHP连接Swarm API
$httpClient = new GuzzleHttpClient([
  'base_uri' => 'http://swarm.managet.com:2375',
]);
 
// 创建任务
$response = $httpClient->post(
  '/tasks/create',
  [
    'json' => [
      'Name' => 'test',
      'TaskTemplate' => [
        'ContainerSpec' => [
          'Image' => 'nginx',
          'Mounts' => [
            [
              'Source' => '/var/www/html',
              'Target' => '/usr/share/nginx/html',
              'Type' => 'bind',
              'ReadOnly' => true,
            ],
          ],
        ],
      ],
      'RestartPolicy' => [
        'Condition' => 'on-failure',
        'Delay' => 5000000000,
        'MaxAttempts' => 3,
      ],
    ],
  ]
);
 
$taskId = json_decode($response->getBody(), true)['ID'];
 
// 启动任务
$response = $httpClient->post(
  '/tasks/' . $taskId . '/start'
);
 
// 停止任务
$response = $httpClient->post(
  '/tasks/' . $taskId . '/stop'
);
 
// 删除任务
$response = $httpClient->delete(
  '/tasks/' . $taskId
);

The above code connects to the Swarm API through GuzzleHttp to implement the functions of creating, starting, stopping and deleting tasks. Among them, creating a task needs to include information such as task name, container specifications, restart strategy, etc. To start a task, you only need to pass the task ID. Stopping and deleting tasks requires passing the task ID for corresponding operations.

3. Practical Application

In practical applications, we can use the above PHP API to realize many application scenarios of Swarm container orchestration. The following are specific examples:

1. Achieve dynamic load balancing: Container tasks can be automatically created and deleted based on request load to achieve load balancing and adaptive capabilities.
2. Achieving high availability: In a Swarm cluster, the same service is deployed on multiple nodes. When a node becomes abnormal, other nodes can automatically take over the service on that node.
3. Realize automatic expansion and contraction of applications: automatically increase or decrease the number of containers according to actual load conditions to ensure high availability and stable performance of applications.
4. Achieving grayscale release of applications: Using Swarm's distributed architecture and scalability, different versions of applications can be run simultaneously in the same cluster for grayscale release.

To sum up, Swarm container orchestration is an important tool for managing and deploying Docker containers, which can help developers easily manage multiple containers. The Swarm container orchestration management system developed using PHP API can easily implement multiple application scenarios of Swarm container orchestration, improving the management efficiency and performance of containerized applications.
