Adocker swarm initCorrect

The `docker swarm init` command is specifically used to initialize a new Docker Swarm on the current node, designating it as the first manager node.

Bdocker swarm create

`docker swarm create` is not a valid command for initializing a Docker Swarm.

Cdocker init swarm

The command syntax is incorrect; `init` is a subcommand of `docker swarm`, so the order is reversed.

Ddocker create swarm

The command syntax is incorrect; `create` is not the correct subcommand for Swarm initialization.
