Are you thinking about something like this: https://medium.com/@coladibriatico94/blender-cluster-with-docker-1a943d58a1d8 If you are going to use one application, it may make more sense to run an app that can coordinate helper nodes. If you will have a variety and want to manage "compute" as a resource, then the more involved setup of a cluster is what you want. Do more work to define your objectives, it may save you alot of time and work. Although having a cluster resource is nice - you might look at OpenShift... running a bunch of containers soon leads to the need to orchestrate them - unless the app can do the master/slave node relationship - like Jenkins for example.
