Containers have nothing to do with storage. They are completely orthogonal to storage (you can use Dynamo or RedShift from EC2), and many people run Docker directly on VMs. Plenty of us still spend lots of time thinking about storage and state even with containers.

Containers allow me to outsource host management. I gladly spend far less time troubleshooting cloud-init, SSH, process managers, and logging/metrics agents.
