I installed the Amazon Linux Installation Image (AMI) with docker and Python 3.4 for a recent project. I know ElasticBeanstalk fairly well, but configuring this was a big headache. WASTED LOT OF TIME.

Instead of making life easy, it just added unnecessary burden of learning Docker for the future project members. Documentation is poor, had to hunt for hours for solutions to simple queries.

On AWS, I would suggest you stick with the basic Linux flavour that you know. Use their Docker build only IF you know docker very well.
