1. Skyliner sets up AWS application load balancers, whereas Convox only supports classic ELBs (though the Convox team bogged about a proof-of-concept ALB integration several months ago).
2. Whereas Convox uses ECS, Skyliner runs each container in its own EC2 instance (using a standard Amazon Linux AMI plus DOcker). So in that respect, Skyliner's run-time configuration is simpler, though it might not use AWS resources as efficiently.
I wonder if there are more subtle differences in the way that Skyliner deploys an application compared to Convox.
