I can confirm this is correct for both use-cases. Currently, using Nova,
one may only specify the CMD in the image itself, or as glance metadata.
The cloud metadata service should be assessable and usable from Docker.

The Heat plugin allow settings the CMD as a resource property. The
user-data is only passed to the instance that runs Docker, not the
containers. Configuring the CMD and/or environment variables for the
container is the correct approach.
