Shivaram Venkataraman commented on SPARK-3821:
----------------------------------------------

[~nchammas] Thanks for the benchmark. One thing I am curious about is why the 
Packer AMI is faster than launching just the base Amazon AMI. Is this because 
we spend some time installing things on the base AMI that we avoid with Packer 
? 

> Develop an automated way of creating Spark images (AMI, Docker, and others)

> Right now the creation of Spark AMIs or Docker containers is done manually. 
> With tools like [Packer|http://www.packer.io/], we should be able to automate 
> this work, and do so in such a way that multiple types of machine images can 
> be created from a single template.
