You can now create new Docker Swarms from within Docker Cloud as well as register existing swarms.

When you create a swarm, Docker Cloud connects to the Cloud provider on your behalf, and uses the provider's APIs and a provider-specific template to launch Docker instances. The instances are then joined to a swarm and the swarm is configured using your input. When you access the swarm from Docker Cloud, the system forwards your commands directly to the Docker instances running in the swarm.
