Advanced Docker Security
In today’s world, developing apps entails much more than just writing code. The use of several languages, frameworks, and architectures, as well as discontinuous interfaces between tools for each stage of the development lifecycle, results in immense complexity. Docker streamlines and accelerates your process while allowing developers the opportunity to create by utilising their preferred tools, application stacks, and deployment environments for each project, according to their needs.
Introduction
Docker has made it easy for the operations team to directly deploy applications and websites without having to worry about dependencies, configuration settings, or the versions of packages installed on the server. Because of its simplicity in terms of just fetching the image from the registry and executing it with a command (docker run), we frequently fail to recognise that it requires the same level of security as any other entity.
We’ve already done a couple of articles on docker security best practices which can be found here and here.
In this blog post, we shall cover some more advanced concepts about Docker Security which will definitely prove to be helpful if you are working with multiple containers, want to prevent privilege escalation, etc.
