Container are a fundamental building block of DevOps operations, yet building them efficiently and securely can be a burden: Often developers don’t know about the platforms’ security constraints, baseline configuration, and expected behavior, while DevOps folks lack domain knowledge regarding the frameworks and languages in use. The result: insecure or bloated containers!

In this hands-on, 2h workshop, we will take a look at common scenarios for containerized applications, and improve them bit by bit, taking a good look at tools available to us in the cloud-native container world.

Participants can expect to get a good understanding of easily applicable actions to trim and secure container images, gain insights throughout the building process, and learn how to get their applications from their machines to production.

Workshop environments for each participant will be provided, and the workshop resources will be publicly available on GitHub for further research and experimentation.
