Cloud Native Security: Protecting Containers and Orchestration
Cloud Native Security: Protecting Containers and Orchestration Cloud native systems move fast, but they also expose new security surfaces. Containers, registries, and orchestration layers share a living environment. A practical security approach treats every stage—from build to runtime—as part of a single plan. Start with guardrails in place before code ships, and keep tightening them as workloads scale. Secure build and image lifecycle Use minimal base images and multi-stage builds to reduce attack surfaces. Require signed images and set vulnerability thresholds in CI. Keep an up-to-date SBOM to track components and dependencies. If a CVE is found, pull a fixed tag and re-build, then re-deploy. Runtime and orchestration security ...
