Security best practices for containers
With the advent of containers, cloud-native applications and infrastructure need quite a different approach to security. Let's have a look at the best practices. This is the age of the cloud-native approach. The cloud-native approach refers to a process that packages software in standard units called containers and arranges these units in microservices that communicate with each other to form applications. It ensures that running applications are fully automated for the greater good—standard speed, agility, and scalability. Let's look at the security considerations that need to be addressed to have a comprehensive security program.
Securing container builds and standardizing deployments
This phase focuses on applying control to developer workflows and continuous integration and deployment pipelines to mitigate the security issues that may occur after containers have been launched. Here is the standard set of practices:
- Apply a single responsibility rule...
