can you run privileged containers (so that you can run tests that use docker internally?)

This is awesome, I need to check this out in detail. Do you have good elastic beanstalk integration?

there is an elastic beanstalk example in the docs http://circlehost:8080/docs/docker#elastic-beanstalk

How well is the caching supported. Is there a way for me to cache and restore my gem dirs?

CircleCI has great caching support for gems, etc (we've had this for about 2 years, so it's really mature). I suspect it might need to be tweaked to support docker use cases a bit better, so can you try it out and let us know?

Gem caching in docker is more about layer construction than anything the CI would do as such. Though old: http://ilikestuffblog.com/2014/01/06/how-to-skip-bundle-inst...
