Container Security & Hardening: Distroless Images, Rootless Docker & CVE Vulnerability Scanning
By Moemecto Distributed Systems & Software Architecture Group
Minimizing attack surfaces: Google distroless base images, running unprivileged non-root containers, read-only root filesystems, and automated Trivy pipeline scans.
Production container images must be stripped of package managers, shell interpreters (`/bin/sh`, `/bin/bash`), and development toolchains to prevent remote code execution (RCE) exploits.
1. Container Hardening Best Practices
- Google Distroless Base Images: Contains strictly application binaries and runtime dependencies with zero shell utilities.
- Run as Non-Root User: Enforce `USER 10001:10001` to restrict container escape vulnerabilities.
- Read-Only Root Filesystem: Prevent runtime modifications to application code and configuration assets.
