With Docker being the craze these days, I just want to make sure you know that we now have a simulator image on the Docker hub. There are a few out there, but our branches are now automatically used to build the images under the cloudstack organization in Docker hub.
thanks to Pierre-Luc Dion for the Jenkins jobs. Check it out and contribute :) http://sebgoa.blogspot.ch/2015/04/running-cloudstack-simulator-in-docker.html
