Me too. I'm not responding specifically to you with the parent comment. That said, "autoscaling", as a concept, didn't really exist prior to AWS AMIs (or Heroku, I guess).

My point is that a lot of devs reach to Docker because they think they need it to do these "hard" things, and they immediately get lost in the complexity of that ecosystem, having never realized that there might be a better way.
