M4 instances

[Tom Barber]

Yup makes a lot of sense, it is similar to a conversation me and Marco
discussed briefly on the final night, where you might want to launch a
"development" Big Data quickstart profile where you don't actually launch 5
machines but instead just spin up a bunch of containers over 1 or 2 boxes
and then when you're happy you spin up the same setup with a different
profile. Of course you then get into LXC/LXD bridge networking issues, but
I'll leave that to those who know!
