Container Security, Second Edition

Container Security, Second Edition by Liz Rice examines the technology that container platforms are built on and what it means for protecting cloud native applications. The book covers how containers are put together and which parts of Linux they depend on, so readers can see both the threats and the ways to reduce them. It is written for developers, operations professionals and security practitioners. This second edition builds on the first, adding today's threats, modern tooling and developments in Kubernetes and Linux.
