Docker Security Essentials eBook

This eBook focuses on securing the Docker platform on Linux. Follow along with the techniques demonstrated in this guide. All you need is a Linux server with Docker installed.

The eBook is structured and organized as follows:

  • In The Docker Platform section, we will begin the process by explaining the various components that make up the Docker platform.

    • Securing the Docker Host
    • Securing the Docker Daemon
  • The remaining sections of the guide will conclude by taking a look at the various ways of securing containers and the process of building secure Docker images:
    • Container Security Best Practices
    • Controlling Container Resource Consumption with Control Groups (cgroups)
