I still don't quite get the use case for Swarm right now.
It seems to solve the problem of starting up a bunch of containers across a bunch of hosts, but not anything after that. Maybe the pluggable backends will enable more of the lifecycle management features like restarting containers when a host crashes or handling rolling upgrades.
