I really like Civis Analytics, which is here: https://www.civisanalytics.com/blog/

We built something like this for our our data science platform (https://civisanalytics.com/products/end-to-end-data-science/), but the containers run on a group of workers that are isolated in one VPC per customer. And even that is for enterprise customers where you have some layer of accountability - I can't imagine opening it up to the wild internet.
