#114: Building the Foundation of Secure Containers

Episode Summary

In this discussion with Nathan McCauley of Docker, we talk about the different ways that users have come to think about Docker security over the years. McCauley explained that many early security concerns stemmed from users not being familiar with the technology at play. Docker has addressed these concerns in the base platform over the years, aided by a movement in the DevOps community towards embracing container technology and how it can help them achieve their security goals. The discussion also covers Docker 1.12’s native Swarm orchestration mode, and some additional security features like cryptographic node identity.
