+# Docker Swarm Node Labeling Guide
+
+This guide provides the commands to apply the correct labels to your Docker Swarm nodes, ensuring that services are scheduled on the appropriate hardware.
+
+Run the following commands in your terminal on a manager node to label each of your swarm nodes.
+
+### 1. Label the Leader Node
+This node will run general-purpose applications.
+
+```bash
+docker node update --label-add leader=true <node-name>
+```
+
+### 2. Label the Manager Node
+This node will run core services like Traefik and Portainer.
+
+```bash
+docker node update --label-add manager=true <node-name>
+```
+
+### 3. Label the Heavy Worker Node
+This node is for computationally intensive workloads like AI and machine learning.
+
+```bash
+docker node update --label-add heavy=true <node-name>
+```
+
+### 4. Label the Fedora Worker Node
+This node is the primary heavy worker.
+
+```bash
+docker node update --label-add heavy=true fedora
+```
+
+## Verify Labels
+
+After applying the labels, you can verify them by inspecting each node. For example, to check the labels for a node, run:
+
+```bash
+docker node inspect <node-name> --pretty
+```
+
+Look for the "Labels" section in the output to confirm the changes.
