Best practices - Container Build Lens

Best practices

One of the greatest benefits of building applications using container images is confidence that the application can run on any sort of infrastructure. Whether the container is deployed on a developer’s personal laptop or in public cloud infrastructure, the container will run as expected, because all the required dependencies are packaged within the image. With this in mind, alignment with security standards and best practices is of utmost importance as containers are deployed in different types of environments.

The best practices laid out in this section of the whitepaper are designed to help you address vulnerabilities that may be introduced during the design and build of a container image.

This section defines how the security pillar relates to Container Build Lens specifically.
