What is the long-term plan for the official Databricks Docker Containers?

Hi,

I'd like to ask you, how much resources do you plan to dedicate to the maintenance/development of the official Databricks Docker images, please? Do you have a view on the longer-term plan for these docker images?

It seems to be maintained, but irregularly / still potentially slightly behind (https://github.com/databricks/containers/issues/43)

--

Especially this one (as it seems to be the base for other ones in the repository): https://github.com/databricks/containers/blob/master/ubuntu/minimal/Dockerfile.

According to the README, it's for Databricks Runtime 7.x and above - was it tested against the newest runtime 8.x?

--

We are building our own docker images for our Databricks clusters for having full control over our environment. They are all based on the image databricksruntime/standard:latest- so we are quite dependant on this at the moment.

Thank you very much,

Ladislav Sulak.

Curious too,

but I have a feeling it is not a priority.
