Welcome to this Scenario Based Docker Security course. This is the second course of a four-course learning path related to securing containers. The lessons that are presented here focus on the security aspect of Docker through which you will learn how to perform various configurations and navigate through different situations within the context of security. Having a proper configuration without security loopholes and having your software sources, such as container images, as secure as possible is very important.
In the first part of this course, we will begin with a guide on how to install and configure Docker properly. We will talk about resource restrictions where you will learn about Linux cgroups and how they can be used to pose limits on different aspects of your system, as well as learn how to monitor resources and process usage. After that, we will move on to Seccomp – Secure Computing Mode and learn how to configure seccomp profiles. Seccomp is a security tool mechanism that Docker can use to achieve additional security.
