Containerization is a operating system virtualization over multiple network resources so that software applications can run in isolated user spaces called containers in any cloud or non-cloud environment, regardless of type or vendor.[1] Such versatility makes it easier to manage hybrid or multi-clouds systems.
Usage
The containers are basically a fully functional and portable computing environment which provides a computing environment surrounding the application and keeping it independent from other parallel evironments. [2]
Security issues
- Security threats to the common OS can affect the whole containerized system.
- In containerized environments, security scanners generally protect the OS but not the application containers, which adds vulnerability.
