.Service mesh and microservices networking
****
We will be trying to create a swarm implementation that will allow communication between all of the members/nodes.

[NOTE]

To undertand this better lets look at the picture bellow and imagine that red dots are iot devices that can send and receive and black ones are clients that gather data.

- Red Node: Server/Client and Gateway Role
- Black and Red Node:  Client Role

[NOTE]
====
* The link to participate will be *announced here*. 

* You can also see detailed information about the sessions etc in the *callendar* (main page of the swarmlab client) after installation (see section "What tools will I need") 

* For any questions you can visit our community page on https://gitter.im/swarmlab-hybrid/community[gitter^]

* If none of the above solved your problem, you can always use good old-fashioned mailto:support@swarmlab.io[email!]

=== What will i learn?
You will learn to code, coordinate and orchestrate a swarm of self-acting nodes.

=== What tools will I need

Internet and a PC

You should also have *installed swarmlab* to be able to recreate the steps and if you wish contribute to projects and communicate with your schoolmates.

==== Swarmlab.io hybrid

Follow the link:https://git.swarmlab.io:3000/zeus/swarmlab-hybrid#installation[instructions^] to install swarmlab-hybrid

=== What students can take this course
Any student with basic knowledge of networking and computer programming should be able to cope with the needs.

=== How is the course going to take place

The course will be divided into following parts

* A list of videos, asciinemas and instructions explaining the project 

* lectures BASED ON THE VIDEOS for deeper analysis and questions

* and a link:https://gitter.im/swarmlab-hybrid/community[Gitter^] for further conversations and answers to any of your questions

=== Will there be some kind of exam/certificate? What will i gain?

* The will NOT be an exam or certificate.
* You will gain contributions in form of commits and merge requests into larger projects, which you can then add to your C.V. and upgrade it.

TIP: Just to give some context, *contribution of code is regarded as the most important factor when choosing a software engineer*, thus making the course very helpful for future employment


== Course Description

=== Cloud & microservice


==== docker app

The section guides you through the following activities:

* Create a Dockerized Sample application
* Start an app container

==== docker swarm

The section guides you through the following activities:

* initializing a cluster of Docker Engines in swarm mode
* adding nodes to the swarm
* deploying application services to the swarm
* managing the swarm once you have everything running


====  Orchestration

The section guides you through the following activities:

* scale our containerized applications across clouds and datacenters


=== Administer and maintain a swarm of Docker Engines

==== manager nodes
==== Monitor swarm health
==== Scheduling Services on a Docker Swarm Mode Cluster

* Scheduling Preferences
* Rescheduling on Failure

==== ansible

* Using ansible to perform operations on managed nodes aka Configurations, deployment, and orchestration/automation
* Deploying Docker Containers with Ansible


=== Create service on nodes

This section includes Docker images and an application for Node development using containers.

Create Real-time Application with 

* Node.js  
* Express.js 
* Socket.io
* Redis


=== Monitoring - service applications communication

==== Real-Time data/Log Collection

=== create noSQL DB (mongo cluster)

A replica set is a group of mongod processes that maintain the same data set

==== create replicas

* Replication in MongoDB
* Change Streams
** work with the change stream cursor.
** Watch Collection/Database/Deployment etc


=== central web admin interface

Create a CRUD App

==== vuejs

Create single-page application
