Phase 9 · Containers & Orchestration

Container Security

Part of the Cloud Computing Roadmap.

Summary

Scanning images for vulnerabilities, running containers as non-root, and applying least-privilege IAM roles to workloads — a container isn't automatically secure just because it's isolated.

How to Learn This

  • 1Scan a container image using a free tool (like Trivy) and review the vulnerability report.
  • 2Configure a container to run as a non-root user.
  • 3Learn how to assign a workload-specific IAM role rather than reusing a broad node-level role.
