A new set of Docker tools

Docker has announced a new set of container management tools: Machine (for system provisioning), Swarm (native clustering for Dockerized applications), and Compose (assembly of multi-container applications). "Finally, Docker Swarm has a pluggable architecture and ships 'batteries included' with a default scheduler. Stay tuned for the public API in the first half of 2015 which will allow swapping-in a scheduler implemented by an ecosystem partner or even your own custom implementation. Nevertheless, regardless of the underlying scheduler implementation, the interface to the app remains consistent, meaning that the app remains 100% portable."
