I'm late here, but this was incredibly helpful, thanks!

@xuebingli for you and moreso people who stumble on this in the future, aws_beanstalk/staging-app:latest would be the incoming app.
I figured this out by adding a 'docker images' command to container_commands, and then pulling the beanstalk logs.

Thanks for the followup @bpicolo, you saved me a bunch of time.

In case this helps anyone else, heres my working version of the .ebextension file for migrating with docker using aws_beanstalk/staging-app:latest: https://gist.github.com/jschr/873a4ad8591760202c20ea702e6d3c99.
