Container Security (microsoft.com)
Over the last decade the industry has seen a shift from traditional application deployment to a faster Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) approach that is causing significant challenges for security teams. These threats on new services, including Containers, Serverless Functions, APIs (Application Programming Interfaces), Source code, Infrastructure-as-Code, and other PaaS (platform as a service) services, differ from what teams are used to with typical server environments. Understanding these new threats and vulnerabilities in the application development process is becoming critical as the adversaries' understanding of the development lifecycle is increasing and making applications more vulnerable.
One of the new services mentioned above, containers, has become a major part of cloud native application development. A container is a standalone package of software files that contains everything you need to run an application, including the application’s code, dependencies, library, runtime, and system tools. Because of this, containers have made application development simpler, faster, and much more powerful. To manage containers, Kubernetes, an open-source platform, is used to make it easy to build an automated set of processes such as application development, deployment, and management.
