Security concerns are what keep me on Triton/SmartOS. Not to mention security is much easier to manage, having been built into the subsystem from the origin of the OS. FWIW scaling an existing Triton instance is nearly immediate, so my practice is to have a couple smaller containers with my running apps that I can scale up rather than having to deploy in order to start scaling. Then depending on the load I can add more instances after that. Different use case than AWS Lambda-style scaling, but works for 99% of the real world cases I've encountered. I find the CPU is better than AWS instances, but can be a little bursty due to the way SmartOS shares resources between tenants.
