You are the second one that say this here... that explain why Docker Swarm lose traction versus Kubernetes, that's a makerting issue. I just setup a Docker Swarm cluster recently, in 5 minutes it was redundant. I didn't add any other software, just the basic docker swarm command that shipped with it. I actually didn't needed the redundancy part at all, but I wanted a second server that could ping the first one and send me an alert. I was going to simply put it on a machine, with systemd like him, but it was just as easy to run it on the machine using Docker. Hell I could run it on both even more easily than doing that twice using systemd... I don't even know how to use systemd now that I mention it....
