This installment of Open source Java projects introduces Java developers to Docker Swarm. You'll learn why so many enterprise shops have adopted container-managed development via Docker, and why clustering is an important technique for working with Docker containers.

The introduction concludes with a hands-on demonstration of using Docker Swarm to develop and manage a two-node enterprise cluster.
