Swarm: a Docker-native clustering system
Docker Swarm is native clustering for Docker. It turns a pool of Docker hosts into a single, virtual host.
Swarm serves the standard Docker API, so any tool which already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to transparently scale to multiple hosts: Dokku, Compose, Krane, Flynn, Deis, DockerUI, Shipyard, Drone, Jenkins... and, of course, the Docker client itself.
Like other Docker projects, Swarm follows the "batteries included but removable" principle. It ships with a set of simple scheduling backends out of the box, and as initial development settles, an API will be developed to enable pluggable backends. The goal is to provide a smooth out-of-the-box experience for simple use cases, and allow swapping in more powerful backends, like Mesos, for large scale production deployments.
Installation for Swarm Users
For instructions on using Swarm in your dev, test or production environment, refer to the Docker Swarm documentation on docs.docker.com.
Building Swarm from Source
To compile Swarm from source code, refer to the instructions in CONTRIBUTING.md
