Does the word “container” intimate containment, suggesting that containers are inherently secure? If it does, any such assumption of security may be the broadest Docker vulnerability to date. “One of the biggest threats I see with Docker is its positioning and the implied security in the language. The reality is that these containers don’t contain […]
Copying Data From One Docker Container to Another
Docker containers can easily be compared to a directory. A Docker container holds everything that is required for an application to run including its dependencies and can be started, stopped, moved and deleted at will. When containers are activated they use Linux kernel namespaces. Each container operates in isolation from the server apart from networking […]
Shooting a Rocket Over Docker’s Bow
