Docker Swarm has a lot of potential. Treating a cluster of machines as a single Docker Engine is liberating. With some work, scaling out applications is very effective. And its use of the Docker API keeps it compatible with the entire ecosystem of Docker tooling. But Swarm also has a handful of issues that make it awkward to work with in different scenarios. Everett Toews offers an introduction to Docker Swarm and explains what it takes to develop and deploy an application on it. Everett also covers Swarm’s deficiencies, identifies workarounds to these issues, and considers how they can be resolved in the long term.

It's almost been a year since the Open Container Initiative (OCI) and its reference OCI-compliant runtime for containers, runC, were announced last June. RunC is now the container execution engine used both by Docker and Cloud Foundry's Garden-Linux project. Phil Estes explains why runC and the OCI community are great places to innovate and develop new features for container execution.

AWS, Azure, and GCP all provision clusters differently. Docker, Kubernetes, and Mesos are seeking to simplify that process but haven't fully delivered on that promise. Ben Lackey and Boris Baryshnikov explain the best way to provision with the tools available today as we wait for the perfect orchestration layer to arrive.
