Using the Docker platform branch

Amazon Elastic Beanstalk can launch Docker environments by building an image described in a Dockerfile or pulling a remote Docker image. If you're deploying a remote Docker image, you don't need to include a Dockerfile. Instead, if you are also using Docker Compose, use a docker-compose.yml file, which specifies an image to use and additional configuration options. If you are not using Docker Compose with your Docker environments, use a Dockerrun.aws.json file instead.
