+### Create the swarm
+When you run the command to create a swarm, the Docker Engine starts running in swarm mode.
+
+Run docker swarm init to create a single-node swarm on the current node. The Engine sets up the swarm as follows:
+
+switches the current node into swarm mode.
+creates a swarm named default.
+designates the current node as a leader manager node for the swarm.
+names the node with the machine hostname.
+configures the manager to listen on an active network interface on port 2377.
+sets the current node to Active availability, meaning it can receive tasks from the scheduler.
+starts an internal distributed data store for Engines participating in the swarm to maintain a consistent view of the swarm and all services running on it.
+by default, generates a self-signed root CA for the swarm.
+by default, generates tokens for worker and manager nodes to join the swarm.
+creates an overlay network named ingress for publishing service ports external to the swarm.
+The output for docker swarm init provides the connection command to use when you join new worker nodes to the swarm:
+
+```shell
+$ docker swarm init
+Swarm initialized: current node (dxn1zf6l61qsb1josjja83ngz) is now a manager.
+```
+
+To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:
+
+```shell
+    docker swarm join \
+    --token SWMTKN-1-49nj1cmql0jkz5s954yi3oex3nedyz0fb0xx14ie39trti4wxv-8vxv8rssmk743ojnwacrr2e7c \
+    192.168.99.100:2377
+```
+
+To add a manager to this swarm, run 'docker swarm join-token manager' and follow the instructions.
+
+To retrieve the join command including the join token for worker nodes, run:
+
+$ docker swarm join-token worker
+
+To add a worker to this swarm, run the following command:
+
+```shell
+    docker swarm join \
+    --token SWMTKN-1-49nj1cmql0jkz5s954yi3oex3nedyz0fb0xx14ie39trti4wxv-8vxv8rssmk743ojnwacrr2e7c \
+    192.168.99.100:2377
+
+This node joined a swarm as a worker.
+```
+
+NOTE: The IPs could change in your environment
+
+### Deploy the stack to the swarm
+Create the stack with docker stack deploy:
+
+```shell
+vagrant@docker$ docker stack deploy --compose-file docker-compose.yml stackdemo
+
+Ignoring unsupported options: build
+
+Creating network stackdemo_default
+Creating service stackdemo_web
+Creating service stackdemo_redis
+```
+
+The last argument is a name for the stack. Each network, volume and service name is prefixed with the stack name.
+
+Check that it’s running with docker stack services stackdemo:
+```shell
+vagrant@docker$ docker stack services stackdemo
+
+ID            NAME             MODE        REPLICAS  IMAGE
+orvjk2263y1p  stackdemo_redis  replicated  1/1       redis:3.2-alpine@sha256:f1ed3708f538b537eb9c2a7dd50dc90a706f7debd7e1196c9264edeea521a86d
+s1nf0xy8t1un  stackdemo_web    replicated  1/1       127.0.0.1:5000/stackdemo@sha256:adb070e0805d04ba2f92c724298370b7a4eb19860222120d43e0f6351ddbc26f
+```
+
+Once it’s running, you should see 1/1 under REPLICAS for both services. This might take some time if you have a multi-node swarm, as images need to be pulled.
+
+As before, you can test the app with curl:
+
+```shell
+vagrant@docker$ curl http://localhost:8000
+Hello World! I have been seen 1 times.
+
+vagrant@docker$ curl http://localhost:8000
+Hello World! I have been seen 2 times.
+
+vagrant@docker$ curl http://localhost:8000
+Hello World! I have been seen 3 times.
+```
+
+Thanks to Docker’s built-in routing mesh, you can access any node in the swarm on port 8000 and get routed to the app:
+
+```shell
+vagrant@docker$ curl http://address-of-other-node:8000
+Hello World! I have been seen 4 times.
+```
+
+Bring the stack down with docker stack rm:
+
+```shell
+vagrant@docker$ docker stack rm stackdemo
+
+Removing service stackdemo_web
+Removing service stackdemo_redis
+Removing network stackdemo_default
+```
+
+Bring the registry down with docker service rm:
+
+```shell
+vagrant@docker$ docker service rm registry
+```
+
+If you’re just testing things out on a local machine and want to bring your Docker Engine out of swarm mode, use docker swarm leave:
+
+```shell
+vagrant@docker$ docker swarm leave --force
+
+Node left the swarm.
