My first thought reading this was "Only a month?". Then I realized that in the real world that's probably quite a while to wait. I'm accustomed to dealing with government where 4-6+ months is typical and complaining will

Much the same thought I have. I've been doing various things toward the same goal for a long time, but Docker helps on every count (quick, redistributable etc).
