An administrator loses network connectivity to three of five swarm managers, but worker nodes keep running existing tasks. Which outcome should they expect until quorum is restored?

Question

Accepted Answer

C. Existing tasks can keep running, but management changes such as service updates cannot be committed. When manager quorum is lost, the control plane cannot commit new cluster state changes. Existing tasks may continue running on workers, but operations such as scaling or updating services cannot proceed until a majority of managers is available again. Docker does not automatically promote workers to recover quorum.
