--------------------------------
Summary: publish guide or scripts to adapt an existing container
image into a suitable worker
Key: BEAM-11152
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-11152
Project: Beam
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: sdk-py-harness
Reporter: Zhitao Li
The current image building doc in
[https://beam.apache.org/documentation/runtime/environments/#customizing-container-images]
only provides paths of modifying existing Dockerfile or extending the image
path.
It might be the case that certain large enterprise users have their own
"blessed" base images which are widely extended within their company, and teams
might want to adapt these images to fit into Dataflow workers. Publishing
guidelines on this path might be helpful.
Even better, if a python equipped container images installs `apache-beam` (or
an extra dependency) python package, it should be possible to be used as a
container image.
