  Description     : Toolkit for orchestrating distributed systems at any scale

SwarmKit is a toolkit for orchestrating distributed systems at any
scale. It includes primitives for node discovery, raft-based consensus,
task scheduling and more.

Its main benefits are:

  * Distributed: SwarmKit uses the Raft Consensus Algorithm in order to
    coordinate and does not rely on a single point of failure to perform
    decisions.

  * Secure: Node communication and membership within a Swarm are secure
    out of the box. SwarmKit uses mutual TLS for node authentication,
    role authorization and transport encryption, automating both
     certificate issuance and rotation.

   * Simple: SwarmKit is operationally simple and minimizes
     infrastructure dependencies. It does not need an external database to
     operate.Overview Machines running SwarmKit can be grouped together in
     order to form a Swarm, coordinating tasks with each other.
