Container Security and Image Scanning Questions

Cover best practices for container image hardening and runtime protection. Topics include scanning images for vulnerabilities in the build pipeline, minimizing base image surface area, image signing and provenance, software bill of materials, dependency management, admission control and registry security, immutable images, non root containers, capability restrictions, read only file systems, runtime isolation mechanisms and orchestration level controls such as network policies and pod security constraints. Also discuss toolchain choices, pipeline automation, and incident response for containerized workloads.
