Solum uses it in our Vagrant setup. It makes the dev environment perform very 
nicely, and is compatible with the Docker containers Solum generates.

Good points, Dan and John.

At this point it may be useful to see who is actually using
nova-docker. Can folks who are using any version of nova-docker,
please speak up with a short description of their use case?
I am using Kilo in a multi-hypervisor mode, some applications running on Docker 
containers and some backend work provisioned as VMs.

Thanks,
dims

?I'm using nova-docker, started out as just learning the pieces... ended up 
being useful for some internal test and dev work on my side.  Including 
building/shipping apps to customers that I used to send out as qcows.  I could 
certainly do this without nova-docker and go straight to docker, but this is 
"more fun", and fits with my existing workflow/usage of OpenStack for various 
things.

Also FWIW Magnum currently is way overkill for what I'm doing, just like some 
other projects.?  I do plan to check that out before long, but for now it's a 
bit overkill for me.
