Given the use case for Docker and the existing support for using Linux Containers as a Nova hypervisor, it seems likely that the Docker hypervisor could tie in very nicely with the existing OpenStack Heat project: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Heat
Yes definitely. The driver implements the normal Nova API behind. Because it does not change the Rest API exposed from Nova to the outside, I guess there won't be any constraint to be used with Heat as is.
(The blog was posted 4 hours ago and it's already dropped to the 4th page; people don't like Docker?)
I would really like to see the Docker provider for Vagrant happen. Vagrant is so easy to manage, and it would make Chef/Puppet provisioning easy. It also makes cross-platform and EC2/DigitalOcean deployment easy with their respective providers. (i.e. you can deploy an image to EC2 that then runs Docker containers)
