Chapter 5. Administer a Swarm Cluster

We're now going to see how to administer a running Swarm cluster. We will discuss in detail topics such as scaling of cluster size (adding and removing nodes), updating the cluster and node information; handling the node status (promotion and demotion), troubleshooting, and graphical interfaces (UI).
