SDLC is not a straight line going one direction or another, but a
circle, always has been (i.e. PROD > DEV > SIT > UAT > PROD).
It just moves faster now.

I think that the need to clone and refresh from prod to dev every few days/weeks/months is indicating a gap in the development and delivery process.
You should move your code form Dev to Prod not the other way around.
Investing in tools and processes to patch that gap seems an expensive workaround for lack of clean development process.
I would have the golden copy done on dev, after every release.

It's always kinda fun when someone says, "but I don't want the
whole database - I just want X, Y, and Z from it".
OK. Don't look at everything. The full copy is available in
minutes and takes no storage, what is so bad about that?
Or, if you absolutely don't want the extra stuff to exist, then do
DROPs or TRUNCATEs as post-processing when cloning/refreshing the
virtual database?
I can spin up an environment in a couple minutes, giving you full
root, oracle, and delphix access, and you can check it all out.

I think the requirement is tho have empty db, so only code and
structures would be cloned from prod into the master copy.

This is how most (if not all) of 300+ customers use Delphix
for virtualizing Oracle, MSSQL, DB2, Sybase, and application
tiers.
Make full-size, read-write clones quickly and cheaply, use
them, get rid of them, or archive them for easy restore.
If you want a full environment to play with and show you
around, I can make one for you in a couple minutes.
Full disclosure: I work for Delphix. Not sales, just
enthusiasm.

We've got a relatively large development group who want to
have many Unit Test databases (without data) that they can
spin up on demand and destroy when done.
I'm curious what products are available that could
facilitate something like this?
I was thinking something like this:
Unit Test (UT Master) - code replicated from production
nightly (never used for testing)
How could I facilitate users creating a copy on demand of
UTMaster using something like:
VMWare or
Delphix or
Docker or
something
I'm basically looking to see what options are to accomplish
something like this.
I was thinking if we stood up UT Master on a VM, we could
snap the VM into another copy for a specific developer on
demand.
