The Plan

(or however much I can fit in 15 minutes)

  • Monitoring container workloads
  • Adapting your processes
  • Securing your containers
  • Building a solution

Monitoring Containers

Scale your Monitoring with your workloads

  • You're not monitoring a few servers anymore!
  • Get your host ↔ app balance right
  • Identify your "bridging"/interface points
  • Herd those cats!

Monitoring Containers

Understand your approach

Improve your response toolkit

  • The same tools and processes don't apply to containers!
  • Know how to make the most of Docker
  • Be wary of reliance on documentation
  • Prepare for each layer of the stack

Secure your Cloud

  • This  should be a basic requirement
  • Assume everyone's out to get you
  • Don't implicitly trust third-party apps

Secure your Cloud

Secure your Cloud

  • Behavioural monitoring
  • Standard network-based detection
  • Proper user controls and RBAC
  • API activity (including baselining)
  • Platform access controls

Building Your Solution

Pro-Tip: It's not Docker

  • The answer isn't Docker
    • or Kubernetes, or OpenShift
  • Containers are not a turn-key solution
  • Build a stack around both sides of your infrastructure
