Description

Is there a way I could change the default swarm strategy from spread to bin pack as I need to test the results for different scheduling strategy ? Also, is it possible to create a custom scheduling strategy by extending swarm kit ?

Research direction

The issue asks whether SwarmKit can change the default scheduling strategy from spread to bin pack and support custom strategies. Start by locating the scheduler and strategy entry points, then determine whether the requested behavior is an existing option or a new extension point. Done would mean a documented, testable way to select or add the strategy.
