GP talked about using Docker to do complex single host deployments until they needed horizontal scaling, which given max VM power, is after they can afford someone to manage it for them.

That makes me think they have multiple services of variable workload packed onto a single host, eg web server, async, and DB all on a single host via Docker.

That’s the antithesis of EB, which can only do horizontal scaling. Docker provides a way to replicate those multiple services in a deployment configuration when you want to set up a host image.

Not using Docker as an easy way to pack it all onto a single box as long as they can is just wasted expense.
