At DockerCon 2014, Solomon Hykes presented a keynote that discussed the future of Docker. One topic of discussion was orchestration, in which he showed a slide that listed a bunch of projects that have come up around this problem:
- Shipper
- Geard
- Mesos
- Coreos
- Consul
- Helios
- Centurion
To combat the variety of choices one could make, he announced libswarm. It's meant to be a standard interface to combine and organize services in a distributed system.
