For some values of ‘right’ Almost since Docker was first introduced to the world there has been a fairly strong push to keeping containers to be single process. This makes a lot of sense and definitely plays into the 12 Factor way of thinking where all application output should be pushed to stdout and docker itself with tools like logspout now has fairly strong tooling to deal with those logs. Sometimes however it just makes sense to run more than one process in a container, a perfect example would be running confd as well as your application in order to modify the application’s config file based on changes in service discovery systems like etcd. The ambassador container way of working can achieve similar things, but I’m not sure that running two containers with a process each to run your application is any better than running one container with two processes.
