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. More about Docker Swarm: The goal of Docker Swarm is to enable easier management of several Docker systems -- many people looking to use docker (see docker.io package) in production would benefit from this. At the moment, the proposed installation instructions are to run Swarm as a Docker image, but this requires running potentially untrusted code obtained over the Internet. It is not a dependency for any other package. There are many competing technologies but this is the most popular open source one, since it is part of the Docker ecosystem itself. I do not use it, yet, however many others do (or are looking to trial it). Proposed maintainers for this package: The Debian Golang team seems like an appropriate place to host this work. As this is an RFP and not an ITP, I hope they are willing to maintain it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
