Thanks guys. I do a lot of work with the juju ecosystem and lxc containers to deploy workloads with that, for example multi node big top clusters etc. It's far more flexible using LXC system containers than pre configured app containers. This works on cloud and bare metal but I'd also like to be able to deploy containers to Mesos using the same technology stack.
