= The command docker service create --network --secure will not ensure that overlay traffic between service tasks is encrypted. This is because the --secure option is not a valid option for the docker service create command1. To ensure that overlay traffic between service tasks is encrypted, you need to use the --opt encrypted option when creating the overlay network with the docker network create command2. For example, to create an encrypted overlay network named my-net, you can use the following command:

docker network create --driver overlay --opt encrypted my-net

Then, you can use the --network my-net option when creating the service with the docker service create command3. For example, to create a service named my-service using the nginx image and the my-net network, you can use the following command:

docker service create --name my-service --network my-net nginx
