Swarm

Swarm is a native orchestration mechanism provided by Docker. Like other orchestration mechanisms, Swarm also consists of Swarm master and Swarm agent.

Swarm master takes care of orchestrating the docker container to different Swarm agents. The master will be running in one or two nodes in the cluster whereas the Swarm agent will be running in all the nodes in the network.
