cd myproject
../install/usr/share/swarmlab.io/sec/swarmlab-sec up size=5
We built a high-performing, scalable infrastructure

Swarmlab

cd myproject
../install/usr/share/swarmlab.io/sec/swarmlab-sec login

When you are inside a container

ssh docker@<IP>

As the cluster running, without having to close the session, open a different terminal and go back to the project directory.

cd myproject
../install/usr/share/swarmlab.io/sec/swarmlab-sec scale size=10

7. shutdown swarmlab-sec cluster

cd myproject
../install/usr/share/swarmlab.io/sec/swarmlab-sec down
