This sounds pretty good to me, but I don't like the idea of containers on a VM. One or the other.
I think that traffic management (round robin) is a bit ambitious. We really don't need it for a site with a few dozen users at best. It gives us fallback if a node goes down, but it also increases maintenance and points-of-failure. I have seen distributed/fallback systems fail more often than they work.
If some kind of Linux bomb drops and suddenly end users are overflowing the system we can easily expand.
