Create custom images for Spark Notebooks

Desjardins has a data scientist team and they would like to customize Spark images for various data scientist.

Similar to what is documented here, but with Spark

Hi @sshukla , Today I attended a customer call where there is a question regarding customization of Spark Notebooks. As per the documentation https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/cloud-paks/cp-data/4.6.x?topic=environments-creating I think CPD 4.6.x can't allow customize software configuration for Spark Notebooks and also we can't create custom images for Spark Notebooks. Any suggestion whether it's possible to customize Spark Notebooks for software configuration or create custom images for Spark Notebooks? Are there any plans to support this feature in Spark Notebooks? I appreciate any help to clarify this customer question. @MADHUSUDAN K J
