This is also something that can be addressed in the cloud/HVM stack.

You can clone a "golden" image, and thus also reset everything back to
that state at the press of a button (delete & clone again).

That works with a variety of containers or hypervisors. (I'm heavily
using this for my own SLE 12 and Factory testing based on KVM, hosted on
a SLE HA 11 system with OCFS2 for the thin provisioning / cloning.)
