Container Security 101 and Beyond

Level: 200

AWS offers a range of managed offerings for managing and running containers, from AWS Fargate to Amazon EKS to Amazon ECR and AWS App Mesh. No matter if you're using one of our managed services or a DIY approach to managing containers in AWS, the security aspect is always present. Building on the traditional shared responsibility model, we will discuss container-specific considerations: from container image hygiene to running containers securely, handling sensitive data, permission management, as well as auditing. Michael Hausenblas is a Developer Advocate in the container services team, looking after container security. He's a Kubernetes contributor, co-author of the Kubernetes Security book, and develops tooling as well as writes about good practices around containers since 2014.
