deploy: restart_policy: condition: on-failure If you’re using the Cluster API to schedule tasks across your processes, and all forked processes die, then the docker engine will just assume you’ve gracefully shutdown.

I’ve recently been researching into Apache Ignite. Apache Ignite is an in-memory, memory-centric, distributed database, caching and processing platform for transactional, analytical, and streaming workloads.
So why the post? Well, with using .NET Core, I have run into one or two challenges that I have had to work through. One of which involves the Agent. I feel it is important to share with you how I get beyond this issue. It may save you a lot of time if you’re an Apache Ignite noob like me.
