![Docker Swarm Logo](logo.png?raw=true "Docker Swarm Logo")
`swarm` is a simple tool which controls a cluster of Docker hosts and exposes it
as a single "virtual" host.
Docker Swarm is native clustering for Docker. It turns a pool of Docker hosts
into a single, virtual host.
`swarm` uses the standard Docker API as its frontend, which means any tool which
speaks Docker can control swarm transparently: dokku, fig, krane, flynn, deis,
docker-ui, shipyard, drone.io, Jenkins... and of course the Docker client itself.
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 the other Docker projects, `swarm` follows the "batteries included but removable"
principle. It ships with a simple scheduling backend out of the box, and as initial
development settles, an API will develop to enable pluggable backends. The goal is
to provide a smooth out-of-box experience for simple use cases, and allow swapping
in more powerful backends, like `Mesos`, for large scale production deployments.

# Docker Swarm: a Docker-native clustering system
# Docker Swarm
Docker `swarm` helps you control a cluster of Docker hosts (known as nodes)
and expose them as a single "virtual" host.
Docker Swarm is native clustering for Docker. It turns a pool of Docker hosts
into a single, virtual host.
The Docker `swarm` manager can be interacted with using the Docker API, which means
any tool which can communicate with a Docker Daemon using that API, can control
a Docker swarm transparently: dokku, fig, krane, flynn, deis, docker-ui, shipyard,
drone.io, Jenkins... and of course the Docker client itself.
