CT team:

I was talking to some enterprise container builders at LinuxCon, and one
thing which came up as a tooling request was some way to
encourage/enforce making developers re-use shared container layers, and
track if they had.

The basic idea is that it's a "best practice" to make reusable layered
containers with foundational technology and re-use them -- among other
things, to simplify security updates.  So for example, this would be
good inherited container heirarchy for a GeoDjango container:


Fedora24
   |
Python27
   |
Django
   |
GeoDjango
   |
MyGeoDjangoApplication

And this would be a poor one:

Fedora24
   |
MyGeoDjangoApplication


But AFAIK, there aren't any tools to encourage or check for the first
over the second.
