Configuration of computing devices via containers is disclosed. A container image is accessed from a container image storage. A first container is initiated, into a container environment, from the container image with a first runtime variable. The first runtime variable identifies a first operational script of a first plurality of operational scripts, the first operational script identifying configuration actions to be performed on a plurality of managed computing devices. The container image comprises an execution layer that causes execution of a configurator. The configurator is configured to receive the first runtime variable, access the first operational script of the first plurality of operational scripts identified by the first runtime variable, perform the configuration actions identified in the first operational script on at least some of the plurality of managed computing devices, and communicate, outside of the first container, output results that identify an outcome of the configuration actions.
