Scaling up with Docker Swarm

Docker Swarm is Docker's orchestrating layer to manage the containers. It is a cluster management tool that focuses on creating replicas of your services, networks, as well as storage resources available to it and managing them.

The Docker Swarm is nothing more than a cluster of Docker nodes. They act as a manager or worker. One interesting feature to note is that a Docker container inside the Swarm can either be a manager or worker or both. This helps the swarm to allocate a new manager when the manager nodes go down. 

At a high level, the manager nodes are responsible for cluster management tasks and execute containers. The workers are responsible for executing the containers only.
