Docker-Placement constraints

Placement constraints

Use placement constraints to control the nodes a service can be assigned to. In the following example, the service only runs on nodes with the label region set to east. If no appropriately-labelled nodes are available, tasks will wait in Pending until they become available. The --constraint flag uses an equality operator (== or !=). For replicated services, it is possible that all services run on the same node, or each node only runs one replica, or that some nodes don’t run any replicas. For global services, the service runs on every node that meets the placement constraint and any resource requirements.

$ docker service create \\
  --name my-nginx \\
  --replicas 5 \\
  --constraint node.labels.region==east \\
  nginx

You can also use the constraint service-level key in a docker-compose.yml file.

If you specify multiple placement constraints, the service only deploys onto nodes where they are all met. The following example limits the service to run on all nodes where region is set to east and type is not set to devel:

$ docker service create \\
  --name my-nginx \\
  --mode global \\
  --constraint node.labels.region==east \\
  --constraint node.labels.type!=devel \\
  nginx

You can also use placement constraints in conjunction with placement preferences and CPU/memory constraints. Be careful not to use settings that are not possible to fulfill.
