Navigating the intricate landscape of container security and software supply chain vulnerabilities, I’ve come across a myriad of tools and platforms promising to fortify our digital assets. Yet, one standout solution in this crowded field is ChainGuard. Drawing upon my experience and recent explorations, I’m here to share why ChainGuard, specifically through its Chainguard Images, represents a pivotal shift in how we approach building, deploying, and securing containerized applications.

Docker is a tool designed to make it easier to create, deploy, and run applications by using containers. Containers allow a developer to package up an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and ship it all out as one package.

Docker is a platform that allows developers to easily create, deploy, and run applications in containers. Containers are a lightweight form of virtualization that allow you to package and isolate an application and its dependencies in a single container. This makes it easy to run the application on any machine that has Docker installed, without the need for any additional setup or configuration.

Docker is a containerization platform that allows you to package an application with all of its dependencies into a standardized unit for software development. This makes it easier to develop, test, and deploy applications, as you can be sure that the application will run consistently regardless of the environment it is being run in.

What is Docker and why should you care?

As a DevSecOps Engineer, one of the most important aspects of my job is ensuring that the software and images used in our production environments are secure and free of vulnerabilities. One of the tools that I rely on to achieve this is RedHat Quay.
