Container Security (Docker/Kubernetes)
Implement secure practices for building, deploying, and managing containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes, including image scanning and network policies.
Introduction to Container Security
Welcome to Container Security! Here, we'll explore how to protect your applications when they run inside containers like Docker and are orchestrated by systems like Kubernetes.
Containers offer great flexibility and efficiency, but they also introduce new security challenges that need careful attention.
Minimize Container Images
Smaller container images mean less attack surface. Remove unnecessary tools, libraries, and files from your final image.
Using multi-stage builds and minimal base images (like Alpine Linux variants) are excellent strategies.
