Docker + Docker Swarm + Portainer Full LAB
In this video, I'll show you how to install, configure, and deploy a complete environment with Docker, Docker Swarm, and Portainer, step by step.

🚀 On the agenda:
Installing and configuring Docker on multiple servers
Creating a Docker Swarm cluster (manager + workers)
Deploying WordPress and a MySQL database
Graphical management and monitoring with Portainer CE
Load testing and horizontal scalability
Terraform commands, stack deploy, service scale, and best practices
