Autoscaling Docker Swarm with the TICK Stack`
The TICK stack, consisting of InfluxDB and its related tools Telegraf and Kapacitor, has improved the ease of use, depth of metrics, and level of control in maintaining and monitoring Docker installations. Docker's Swarm feature, introduced in version 1.12, allows for orchestration and management of a cluster of Docker hosts without requiring additional tools or frameworks. However, to effectively utilize this feature, logging and monitoring skills are necessary to understand system behavior and have visibility into each part. This is where Orbiter comes in, an open-source tool that can scale Docker Swarm clusters based on monitoring metrics using the TICK stack.
