Yeah, that's what I've heard before. I just found that documentation information,
and that suggests otherwise..

libvirt (KVM) and nova-docker. I have need for both containers and real
VMs.

I'd very much like to limit my power/cooling requirements by only
run physical machines absolutly necessary. Having to specify one+ host
for containers and one+ host for VMs will mean that these two+ hosts
will individually run "empty" for the most part..

Yes, they will fill up eventually, but I rather only have ONE Compute
running if the containers and VMs fits on ONE..
