Description
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.
