Does the Swarm mode work on Docker for Windows?

Docker Desktop for Windows
1

Hello,

  1. Does the Docker Swarm mode work on Docker for Windows (that run native Windows Containers using Hyper-V driver) ? Iam on Docker v 1.13.0-rc6-beta36 (9696) / Win10-Pro-1607 (Anniversary Edition)

  2. Is there a good sample/tutorial that I can try to demo the scaling aspect.

Thanks for your time!

Sorry, it doesn’t work yet. We’re still waiting on a few overlay networking improvements in Windows.

It’s starting to show up in Windows 10 insider builds: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/virtualization/2017/02/09/overlay-network-driver-with-support-for-docker-swarm-mode-now-available-to-windows-insiders-on-windows-10/

@friism
"Now, we’re expanding the reach of Windows container networking to multi-host (clustering) scenarios with the addition of a native overlay network driver and support for Docker swarm mode, available today to Windows Insiders as part of the upcoming Windows 10, Creators Update."

I’ve noticed that the Creators Update is now out, does this mean that what @sg1970 wants to do works right now, or is it still in development?

Yup, it all works now: https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/22790#issuecomment-297064902
