The "docker" templates in exoscale are CoreOS templates which anyone can install on their cloudstack setup from: http://stable.release.core-os.net/amd64-usr/current/ Note that Docker can be installed on ubuntu or centOS with close to a one line bash script passed as userdata… I am of the opinion that "supporting" docker as a hypervisor type in ACS (like LXC) is not the right way to do it. Docker is more like a workload. You start a cluster of docker hosts on CloudStack and then use all the Docker ecosystem to manage your containers. And as Nux mentioned there are two pull requests in the Docker machine feature to add cloudstack driver. That means that from Docker you will be able to start an instance on an ACS cloud and use the docker cli form your local machine. It also means that we will see Docker swarm support CloudStack as well really soon. We are better off making sure that a cloudstack driver works well in machine and swarm that spend time adding a "docker hypervisor" in cloudstack. my 2 cts. > > Cheers > > Osay
