Description RHOS Integration 2013-12-17 00:43:33 UTC 
Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/nova/+spec/docker-env-via-meta-data.

Description:

A common pattern in docker is to use environment variables to configure a container. This is not possible with the nova docker driver. We could provide a simple way to provide this feature by using the nova instance metadata. For example each metadata entry which is prefixed with ENV_ or DOCKER_ could be injected as environment variable into the container.
