Practical Introduction to Container Security Workshop

Financial service industries value the scalability and agility that containers offer, but containers introduce new security challenges that can't be addressed with traditional tooling.  However, the security implications of running containerized applications is often taken for granted. For example, today it is very easy to pull container images from the internet and run them in the enterprise without examining their content and authenticity. 

In this lab, you’ll complete a series of hands-on exercises aimed at understanding the concepts, challenges, and best practices associated with deploying containers in a secure fashion. You’ll learn how to:

• Configure nodes to host secure container registries
• Use Podman to manage pods, containers, and images
• Use the Universal Base Image (UBI)
• Leverage Linux® capabilities to grant a particular or subset of root privileges to a process running in a container 
• Integrate SELinux policies in containers
• Inspect containers with Podman & Skopeo
• Sign container images and create trust policies to control access to registries
• Compose containers with Buildah

Prerequisites

• An introductory knowledge of Linux and containers is helpful.
• Basic text editing skills using vim or nano.
