It's frustrating to read people comparing container technologies or worse container schedulers with OpenStack. Apples and oranges.

If you are planning on running containers on premise you need something from managing the IAAS side of things. OpenStack is excellent at IAAS and is the foundation for running higher level abstractions and services on top.

I said elsewhere in the thread. If there is a better IaaS solution than OpenStack, then I would love to know about it.

I disagree with you that you need an IaaS solution to run containers on-prem, but realistically, yes you do need an IaaS solution

I would go with Joyent SDC/Triton, it has a much more mature container and VM platform. It's incredible it's so missed in these comments.
