Java ?
Python ?

Golang ?

Docker ?

Microkernel ?

The cloud refers to software and services that run on the Internet, instead of locally on your computer

 

What is the Cloud ?

Stop saying the cloud is just someone else's computer - because it's not

My home Lab, Dec 2017 Paris

Cloud is about how you do computing, not where you do computing.

Spoon & trash

VM => Container

How it works ?

Same as 1979 ?

mkdir jail

chroot jail

 

mkdir jail/bin

cp /bin/sh jail/bin

chroot jail

 

mkdir jail/bin

cp all/dep.so to jail/bin

chroot jail

 

Same as 1979 ?

Nope

Unchroot using recursive chroot('.')

 

Docker runs as root

Kernel Namespaces

Control Groups

Linux Kernel Capabilities

Attack Surface of the Docker Daemon

How to Secure ?

Just follow the best practices

Install Secure packages/bin

RUN apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://cloud-pizza:80 --recv-keys B97B0A....8
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install ...

Install Secure packages/bin

RUN apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://cloud-pizza.local:80 \ --recv-keys B97B0A....8
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install ...

Use trusted image followed by tag

FROM base-image:tag

Never install ssh server in docker images

Docker exec ...

Secure your version control system

Sign commits

2 factors authentication

hardware tokens

Never hard code secrets

Be minimal, less vulns

Use only required packages

Use Alpine linux (5 Mb)

instead of Ubuntu(190Mb)

 

Least priveleges microservices

FROM base-image:tag
adduser -u 1000 -G root default
USER default

&Never use --privileged

Immutable Infrastructure
