It helps web developers to easily create / maintain a stack of services with docker
About Stakkr
Stakkr is a a docker recompose tool that uses docker compose to easily create / maintain a stack of services, for example for web development. Via a configuration file you can setup the required services and let stakkr link and start everything for you. It works only in CLI and it’s a good replacement to Vagrant. If you have heard of Docker, you know that when you need to build a full environment with multiple services that are linked, you either have to do everything manually or use docker-compose. The second solution is the best but it implies that you need, for each environment, to change your parameters, choose your images, learn the docker-compose command line tool, etc. In brief, it’s not very flexible and hard to learn. Stakkr will help you, via a very simple configuration file and a predefined list of services (that can be extended by plugins) to build a complete environment. Plus, to control it in command line. It makes use of docker easy.

Swarm
Current versions of Docker include swarm mode for natively managing a cluster of Docker Engines called a swarm. Use the Docker CLI to create a swarm, deploy application services to a swarm, and manage swarm behavior. Cluster management integrated with Docker Engine: Use the Docker Engine CLI to create a swarm of Docker Engines where you can deploy application services. You don’t need additional orchestration software to create or manage a swarm. Decentralized design: Instead of handling differentiation between node roles at deployment time, the Docker Engine handles any specialization at runtime. You can deploy both kinds of nodes, managers and workers, using the Docker Engine. This means you can build an entire swarm from a single disk image. Declarative service model: Docker Engine uses a declarative approach to let you define the desired state of the various services in your application stack.

Centurion
A deployment tool for Docker. Takes containers from a Docker registry and runs them on a fleet of hosts with the correct environment variables, host volume mappings, and port mappings. Supports rolling deployments out of the box, and makes it easy to ship applications to Docker servers. We're using it in our production infrastructure. Centurion works in a two part deployment process where the build process ships a container to the registry, and Centurion ships containers from the registry to the Docker fleet. Registry support is handled by the Docker command line tools directly so you can use anything they currently support via the normal registry mechanism. If you haven't been using a registry, you should read up on how to do that before trying to deploy anything with Centurion. This code is developed in the open with input from the community through issues and PRs. There is an active maintainer team within New Relic.
