What's the use case for deploying a database in a container instead of a VM? If I want dedicated resources for my database (anything else would be undesirable in a live production environment), that implies running it on a dedicated host.

There are various important use cases. One of them is that people want to use the same workflow when deploying their databases that they get when deploying their apps. It is possible to use our Tags system to force your database containers to live on systems with a special hardware configuration. Additionally you could configure the database application in ContainerShip to utilize all of the available resources on a given follower host or hosts, forcing them to run single tenant.
