Swarm Description
Docker 4.0 and higher include swarm mode, which allows you to manage a cluster of Docker Engines. The Docker CLI allows you to create a cluster, deploy applications to it, and manage its behavior. Cluster management integrated with Docker Engine. Use the Docker Engine CLI for cluster management. To create or manage a cluster, you don't need any additional orchestration software. Decentralized design: The Docker Engine does not handle differentiation between node roles at deployment. Instead, it handles any specialization at runtime. The Docker Engine can be used to deploy both managers and workers. This allows you to create a whole swarm using a single disk image. Declarative service model: Docker Engine uses this declarative approach to allow you to define the desired state for the various services within your application stack.

Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), is a fully managed container orchestration and management service. ECS is used by customers such as Duolingo and Samsung, GE and Cook Pad to run their most sensitive and critical mission-critical applications. It offers security, reliability and scalability.
ECS is a great way to run containers for a variety of reasons. AWS Fargate is serverless compute for containers. You can also run ECS clusters with Fargate. Fargate eliminates the need for provisioning and managing servers. It allows you to specify and pay per application for resources and improves security by application isolation by design. ECS is also used extensively in Amazon to power services like Amazon SageMaker and AWS Batch. It is also used by Amazon.com's recommendation engines. ECS is extensively tested for reliability, security, and availability.
