Hi Pedro,

I think we should integrate your build steps into the Apache MXNet CI
System. Your PR is creating a set of ARM Docker files, I don't see the
build steps.  Can you please create your job using JenkinsFile like
https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/blob/master/Jenkinsfile.

I have a few questions:
1. How much time does your build job take?

2. I see a few ARM architectures in the PR? I think its best to build on a
common subset(preferably 1) of the architecture in the PR build. Do you
think the complete build can be run every night instead?

3. What kind of infrastructure does your build require? Can they be run on
AWS? The current set of slaves are run on AWS.

4. Please ensure there is enough documentation for continued
maintainability?

Thanks, Naveen
