Swarm Mesh Provisioner Skill

Stateless atomic operation to establish multi-node container orchestration clusters and secure virtual networks.

Prerequisites

• container-manager-mcp — for executing Swarm init, join, network, and node operations.
• tunnel-manager-mcp — for running command execution on worker nodes.

Steps

Step 1: Initialize Swarm Manager

On the target Manager node, verify Swarm status. If inactive:

• Run docker swarm init specifying advertise address.
• Retrieve manager and worker join tokens.

Step 2: Join Swarm Workers

For each designated worker node listed in the inventory:

• Verify remote Docker engine state.
• Join the Swarm cluster using the worker join token.
• Validate active cluster membership.

Step 3: Provision Global Overlay Network

Create a secure, encrypted overlay network (e.g., overlay-net) to bridge containers across different hardware hosts:

• Ensure the network is created with --attachable to support dynamic containers.
• Check MTU and driver settings.

Step 4: Verify Cluster State

Confirm that all node statuses read Ready and state shows Active on the Swarm manager.
