🔍 Recently Discovered: Is Your Container Image Really Distroless? Sharing Eye-Opening Insights That Captivated My Attention A big thank you to Laurent Goderre for sharing their valuable insights on application containers. Containerization has revolutionized the security landscape by granting engineers greater control over application runtime environments. However, ensuring ongoing security posture demands significant time investments due to the ever-evolving threat landscape. But fear not, there's a game-changer on the horizon: "distroless" images. What's a distroless image? It's a lean, mean container image stripped of unnecessary software, slashing maintenance time and reducing vulnerability exposure. But do they truly live up to the hype? Dive into our latest article where we unpack: 1️⃣ What makes an image distroless? 2️⃣ Tools facilitating practical creation. 3️⃣ The verdict: Do distroless images deliver? But wait, why do some 'distroless' images still carry Linux essentials like Bash or BusyBox? The answer lies in container initialization. Discover in our article how init containers in Kubernetes offer a pathway to true distrolessness, separating initialization dependencies from runtime ones. #containers #kubernetes #tech #security
