We currently have a centos-based vagrant box setup for kubernetes and docker with atomic CLI.

What don't you like about oh-my-vagrant? I think it has a lot of potential but we need some feedback on what needs to change. From my use there is a lot functionality we need but the UX is unexpected. Not sure how to make it work.

This is nice to see. VMs/vagrant is outside the domain of nulecule but a bootstrapping SPC is really interesting.
