This is pretty interesting stuff, but a 10GB base image? Granted its a base and you don't have to push it often, but in my experience pull times to container hosts end up being a big part of overall deployment cycle time, and pulling 10GB to a new host during a scaling event sounds not so fun. In our container development we'll rely on alpine where possible because it brings image sizes down from, say 100-200MB with ubuntu to 10-20MB.
