Create a Docker Swarm cluster with Terraform and Ansible
summary
Terraform provisions VPCs and instances, Ansible installs Docker, enables experimental features and bootstraps Swarm tokens, and the result is a working multicloud Swarm: 18 servers across AWS Azure GCP with three managers and three workers per provider. Terraform uses reusable modules (VPCs, subnets, bastion), some Azure/GCP portal steps stay manual, and Ansible splits manager/worker roles to join clusters. A Traefik stack runs on managers as load balancer and Traefik runs only on managers, and HTTP requests route to containers across clouds.
