### In this virtual lab we used mainly the following tools:
* Docker swarm for service creation and container orchestration 
* Linux Containers (LXC) for worker nodes
* Ansible for automation
* Galera-inside-docker for MariaDB clustering
 
In more detail, the manager node is running on the host machine itself, while the provisioning \
of LXC containers permits the creation of multiple worker nodes on which the galera cluster runs, \
running on the same host without the need for separate worker machines.
Ansible is used for the total automation of the deployment process, which is constituted after by \
the usage of Makefile, in the specific case of the combination of LXC with Docker swarm and Galera \
cluster, provided that all the necessary modules are available with the latest version of ansible \
which is installed automatically by make.
