Running multiple VMs that each run an ONOS instance is one way of running a multi-instance ONOS deployment. It is however not practical to do on my resource-constrained laptop. Using Linux Containers is a great alternative that achieves the same thing but uses way less CPU and memory. I also didn't care much for Docker's approach: Docker is very convenient to distribute ONOS as a self-contained application, but I had trouble integrating it into my development cycle which requires fast code/deploy/test cycles.
