Exploring the (lack of) security in a typical Docker and Kubernetes installation Aug 8, 2020 14:16 EDT · Hot! with 10 comments I have been in IT for over 20 years, but have never had any hands on experience with containers. Conceptually, I understand what they are and how they work, but since I’ve never had to implement them, I wasn’t sure how it worked. In addition, I had no idea how to actually secure them. Again, the concept sounds great, but the old adage of “as security increases, usability decreases” sat in my head, and with how easy everything container-related sounded, it also seemed like security was going to be an afterthought.
