Question

What service mode is used to deploy a single task of a service to each node?

Options

  • Areplicated
  • Bspread
  • Cuniversal
  • Ddistributed
  • Eglobal

Explanation

The global service mode in Docker Swarm ensures that exactly one task of a service runs on every available node in the swarm.

Common mistakes.

  • A. Replicated services run a specified number of identical tasks across the swarm, not necessarily one per node.
  • B. Spread is a deployment strategy, not a service mode; it aims to evenly distribute tasks across nodes but doesn't guarantee one per node.
  • C. "Universal" is not a standard Docker Swarm service mode.
  • D. "Distributed" is a general term and not a specific Docker Swarm service mode for deploying one task per node.
