<p class="MsoNormal"><br></p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Zane's responses were correct. Effort is underway, planning the development of a containers service. This architecture of this service actually looks quite a bit like the Docker+Heat+Nova story, but simplified through a Nova-like API. The spec for this is in progress: <a href="https://review.openstack.org/#/c/114044/">https://review.openstack.org/#/c/114044/</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>As for scheduling with Docker+Heat, one option is to use swarmd/libswarm. Unfortunately, this is an early-stage project, so it isn't quite an out-of-the-box solution; It's not "production-ready", but you're welcome to investigate it... The usage model with Heat would be to spawn your Nova instances not only with Docker, but with a connector to a libswarm server (swarmd). That swarmd process would need to be running an listening somewhere. You'd need to load (and possibly write) plugins for libswarm/swarmd to provide your scheduling. Your docker_endpoint would be the IP/port of swarmd, and it would proxy those requests to the correct backend Docker hosts.</div>
