Docker Security

What are the key parts of Docker Security?

Containers, in contrast to regular virtualisation techniques, are lightweight & flexible and therefore become more and more popular in DevOps around the world.

A Docker container …

• … is minimal
• … is task-specific
• … is isolated
• … is reproducible

When looking at the security of a Docker system one has to consider the following components:

• Docker Images – Do they contain components with vulnerabilities? Is the content trusted? Are secrets disclosed?
• Docker Registry – Where are the images stored?
• Docker Runtime/Container – How secure is the configuration of the running container?
• Docker Host and configuration – Docker is only as secure as the underlying host! Has it been hardened sufficiently? What about the docker configuration?

Is my Docker Container secure?
