Hi

Too bad that I missed meetup and start of discussion, because I only monitored 
dev list...

We deploy our testcluster on a single machine as pure lxc containers. Using a 
hiera supported puppet michel weiser is trying to merge with bigtop.

Imho one solution does not fits all.

In productiom:On a cluster of machines you would deploy bigtop on bare metal, 
not sacrifing runtime performance for anything. 

In a longer running testcluster on a maschine:
We run a traditional os in container (i.e. We run systemd formely known as init 
in it). This has the big advantage that we can test long running things like 
kerberos tickets expiring happening on a real bare metal cluster. Right now we 
have journalling, with tez on hive including hue and are happy right now when 
we can switch on kerberos authentication. 

For smoke tests the vagrant/docker scripts are really cool, i looked at it 
yesterday the first time. Too bad they are deeply bound to centos, I had to 
change many thing to get it run on debian.


Docker is more centered 

I looked into the vm puppet scripts and
