Description

It would be great to quickly spin up a farm of chromeless images to run a test suite in parallel. Using containers would remove the AWS requirement for scalability. I'm not a docker expert, just started to evaluate docker-based solution as our test suite has grown significantly in the last couple of months, and we need a more elastic approach.
