This is my favorite technique too but it's nothing new.
Heroku, App Engine and Lambda satisfy this for custom code.
But I do agree with the author.
Docker is not a service or serverless.
Swarm, Kubernetes, Mesos are all software in every sense.
You install them on servers and you perform complex operations to keep them running well.
Doing this unlocks all sorts of new utility, but it's the opposite of "use cloud services" in almost every way.
