Adding work nodes to the UCP cluster
After logging in to Docker Enterprise's Universal Control Plane, you will see a dashboard showing your healthy one-node cluster. Now, we need to add our additional nodes to the Docker UCP (Swarm-backed cluster). We will start with the Linux nodes and then the Windows node, noting the Windows node take a little more preparation before running the docker swarm join command.
While we use SSH to access our nodes during the installation of the Docker Engines, UCP and DTR, after the installs are complete, we should no longer use SSH access. Rather than SSH, only allow users access the cluster from a UCP Client bundle. Each UCP user has their own personalized bundle associated with their UCP role-based access account, as specified by a Docker Enterprise administrator.
