Myth 1: Containers are unsafe

[bitheerani93]

Containers are actually a security tool that offers more methods to protect your applications. They improve application isolation and provide faster and safer mechanisms for software patching compared to traditional systems like Virtual Machines.

The simple, hard reality is that containers inherently belarus mobile database a much smaller attack surface than the VM delivery alternative. When compared to the traditional JEE application server delivery model, the security improvement is orders of magnitude.

Additionally, container platforms may have certain security features and processes built in. Well-designed and delivered containers follow the principle of least privilege, where isolation is established by default to limit access to only the resources that are needed.

By restricting a container's visibility to the outside world and limiting its communications with unnecessary resources, least privilege orchestration protects containers and applications.
