# Discovery
Docker comes with multiple Discovery backends.
## Backends
### Using etcd
Point your Docker Engine instances to a common etcd instance. You can specify
the address Docker uses to advertise the node using the `--discovery-address`
flag.
```bash
$ docker daemon -H=<node_ip:2376> --discovery-address=<node_ip:2376> --discovery-backend etcd://<etcd_ip>/<path>
```
### Using consul
Point your Docker Engine instances to a common Consul instance. You can specify
the address Docker uses to advertise the node using the `--discovery-address`
flag.
```bash
$ docker daemon -H=<node_ip:2376> --discovery-address=<node_ip:2376> --discovery-backend consul://<consul_ip>/<path>
```
### Using zookeeper
Point your Docker Engine instances to a common Zookeeper instance. You can specify
the address Docker uses to advertise the node using the `--discovery-address`
flag.
```bash
$ docker daemon -H=<node_ip:2376> --discovery-address=<node_ip:2376> --discovery-backend zk://<zk_addr1>,<zk_addr2>>/<path>
```
