# Swarm mode

Docker 1.12 [Swarm mode](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/) 已经内嵌入 Docker 引擎，成为了 docker 子命令 `docker swarm`。请注意与旧的 `Docker Swarm` 区分开来。

`Swarm mode` 内置 kv 存储功能，提供了众多的新特性，比如：具有容错能力的去中心化设计、内置服务发现、负载均衡、路由网格、动态伸缩、滚动更新、安全传输等。使得 Docker 原生的 `Swarm` 集群具备与 Mesos、Kubernetes 竞争的实力。

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hezhiqiang.gitbook.io/docker/swarm_mode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
