Hey :wave: I also have a question regarding the Docker image for the UserDeployments — what is the `BASE IMAGE` expected to be in the <https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/blob/master/python_modules/automation/automation/docker/images/k8s-example/Dockerfile|example Dockerfile>? Should I first build a Docker image containing my Dagster project, and provide it as the base image here?

We use `python:3.7.8-slim` - in the same directory, it’s defined under <https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/blob/master/python_modules/automation/automation/docker/images/k8s-example/versions.yaml|versions.yaml>.

Depending on whether you’ll need to install external libraries that your pipelines will require, it might be nice to bake those into the base image before copying/installing your Dagster project over to the image. Otherwise, some default Python Docker image should be good to use as the base image.

Ah! That makes so much sense, I can’t believe I missed that. :man-facepalming: Thanks <@U01AV4K3W14> !
