Running Python Scripts in Docker

Inevitably, when you run any type of infrastructure that isn’t ephemeral, “scripts” pop up like mushrooms after a heavy rain. They’re often surprising in many unpleasant ways. Undocumented, environment-sensitive and often fulfilling a critical use case for Someone Important. You should have a policy to deal with these; my theory is they should be packaged up in a Docker container and I’ve expanded on what this could look like at this Shared gDoc.
