A built-in docker hosting solution.
A swarm consists of multiple Docker hosts which run in swarm mode and act
as managers (to manage membership and delegation) and workers (which run
swarm services). A given Docker host can be a manager, a worker, or
perform both roles. When you create a service, you define its optimal
state (number of replicas, network and storage resources available to it,
ports the service exposes to the outside world, and more). Docker works to
maintain that desired state.
