[ale] Behind on your "Container Skills"

[Jerald Sheets]

You solve this by only allowing an internal “hub” where you place “blessed” container images.  Done.

We blackhole docker hub internally, and there is no ingress to serving nodes from the outside.  In short, if you want something inside, it has to go through a vetting process, and then I have to put it onto the internal hub.  Outside of that, nothing goes on a serving node that isn’t explicitly blessed on an almost file-by-file basis.

Docker is and can be secure.  The problem is that most Systems folks are too lazy to build the infrastructure to make it so.

They are difficult to manage for updates (toss and rebuild) and most devs pull latest-greatest libs even though they are all right from git repo and not checked for problems. None of the security checks that exist for vm control work for containers and they leak like screen door on a submarine.
