+### Execution Via Docker
+
+If you like to run this script within a contained environment, you can build a Docker image with
+
+    $ docker image rm -f aws-helper/apn-competency-helper && docker build -t aws-helper/apn-competency-helper .
+
+By specifying an output directory as a volume, you can run the competency helper like this:
+
+    $ docker run -it --name aws-competency-helper -v output:/output aws-helper/apn-competency-helper
+
+After execution of the script, the file structure is created in the `output` directory.
+
+To generate the file structure repeatedly, you can use the following command:
+
+    $ docker container start -i aws-competency-helper
+
