AWS Elastic Beanstalk adds Docker support

I'm happy that AWS is bringing Docker into the ecosystem, but note that this currently allows for a maximum of one container per instance, which is a rather inefficient use of Docker and doesn't add a lot of value.

Docker shines more when you can have a number of containers side-by-side, isolated from each other. If there's only one thing to "isolate", you don't get as much benefit.

Well, you can develop on your laptop in the same container and know you can upload/sync the same exact thing to production.

That basic essential feature is absolutely valuable to me.

This is super cool/useful. I say celebrate small wins, man!

I'd love to turn this around and ask - what would you feel is a good experience integrating the two?

I spend a ton of time thinking about / talking about this; your insight is valuable.

I'd want to see it as a `foreman`-like description: identify the Dockerfiles, map to an instance type, and say how many of each container you want.
