WHAT ARE CONTAINERS ?

Software packaging concept that typically includes an application and all of its

runtime dependencies.

●

Easy to deploy and portable across host systems

Isolates applications on a host operating system

In RHEL, this is done through:

●

Control Groups (cgroups)

kernel namespaces

Containers potentially offer the ability to encapsulate a lot

of manual processes and make it little or no touch.

RUNS ON CONTAINERS

“Everything at Google, from Search

to Gmail, is packaged and run in a

Linux container.”

TOP 5 MISCONCEPTIONS ABOUT

CONTAINERS

Containers are new.

Containers equal virtualisation.

Containers are universally portable.

Containers are secure by default.

Containers are not enterprise-ready.

CONTAINER ADOPTION CHALLENGES

CONTAINERISING THE DATA-CENTRE REQUIRES PLANNING

THE NEED FOR A 'CHAIN OF TRUST'

●

Who built this image?

What’s its purpose?

Was it created to

support a demo?

●

Is it safe to consume?

Who maintains it?

WHAT'S INSIDE THE CONTAINER

MATTERS

36% of official images in Docker Hub contain high priority

security vulnerabilities

●

High vulnerabilities: ShellShock

(bash), Heartbleed (OpenSSL), etc.

●

Medium vulnerabilities: Poodle

(OpenSSL), etc.

●

Low vulnerabilities: gcc: array

memory allocations could cause

integer overflow

●

Will what’s inside the containers

compromise your infrastructure?

●

How and when will apps and libraries be

updated?

●

Will it work from host to host?

RED HAT CERTIFIED

●

Trusted source for the host and the

containers

●

Trusted content inside the container with

security fixes available as part of an

enterprise lifecycle

Portability across hosts
