Being able to package an application and dependencies in a container, then run locally or using one of several AWS Compute services is pretty powerful. I think containers have been through the hype cycle, but they definitely have their uses. Anybody else use Thinstall (now VMWare ThinApp) on Windows? It did something similar by presenting your application with virtualized versions of the Windows subsystems, and was super useful when you were faced with DLL dependency issues.
