Evgeny, The role of etcd / consul / zookeeper in the booting up an Akka cluster is to provide a distributed lock rather than service discovery. When you boot up a number of uniform nodes they need to decide among themselves which one will act as a seed of Akka cluster. The other nodes then join the seed. An external service that provides consistency guarantees prevents the cluster from brain-splitting at the very outset. I'm not familiar with docker-swarm feature set, but unless it provides a strongly consistent KV store or other means of distributed coordination, this is not going to fly.
