This chapter looked at the security considerations of Docker and Windows containers. You learned that the Docker platform is built for security in depth, and that the runtime security of containers is only one part of the story. Security scanning, image signing, content trust, and secure distributed communication can be combined to give you a secure software supply chain.
You looked at the practical security aspects of running apps in Docker and learned how processes in Windows containers run in a context that makes it difficult for attackers to escape from containers and invade other processes. Container processes will use all the compute resources they need, but I also demonstrated how to limit CPU and memory usage, which can prevent rogue containers from starving the host's compute resources.
In a dockerized application, you have much more scope to enforce security...
