Introduction to Container Security - Thomas Cameron, Red Hat

Application containerization is one of the coolest technologies in IT. It solves numerous problems, allows for incredible application density, and can really increase flexibility and responsiveness. But not everyone understands what makes up container security - it's a LOT more than what application is in the container.

In this session, Red Hat’s Thomas Cameron will talk about the basic components of container security. He'll talk about kernel namespaces, Security Enhanced Linux, Linux control groups, the Docker daemon, etc. and how they all work. He'll provide demonstrations of how each of these technologies affects security.

He'll also talk about tips and tricks for planning a secure container environment, describe some “gotchas” about containers, and debunk some of the security myths about containers.

Attendees will understand the fundamentals of container security when they leave.

Introducing the Kubernetes Policy WG - Zhipeng Huang, Huawei & Xuan Jia, China Mobile

As many large organizations move business-critical workloads onto Kubernetes, they bring diverse requirements around availability, performance, security, and governance.
Over time Kubernetes has added various features to address these requirements, one of such is that let administrators configure policies such as RBAC, admission control, NetworkPolicy, (anti-)affinity, etc. While these features can be combined to address some of the requirements from large enterprises, this is largely achieved through tribal knowledge in the most advanced segment of the user base and does not cover all of the requirements.
In this talk, we will introduce the newly formed Policy WG that aims to provide an overall architecture that unifies policy features. We will show how existing Kubernetes features can be leveraged to provide fine-grained policy-based control

Building a Serverless Container Cloud with OpenStack and Kubernetes - Kevin Zhao, Arm

Kubernetes makes it easier to deploy, manage and scale clusters of containers. However, running Kubernetes on OpenStack still requires users to manage the underlying infrastructure such as a cluster of virtual servers, and users need to take care of the initial capacity planning and the maintenance of the server clusters.

The emerging serverless container (zero server management) technologies such as AWS Fargate, Azure Container Instance (ACI) and OpenStack Zun can reduce such infrastructure management overhead. They provide a viable alternative to run containers on the cloud, which allows users to run containers without pre-creating or managing their own server (virtual machine) clusters.

In this presentation, we will talk about what serverless conainer cloud is, why it matters and how to implement serverless container cloud on top of OpenStack using Zun and Kubernetes.

Disclosure Policies in the World of Cloud: A Look Behind the Scenes - Lars Kurth, Citrix / Xen Project (slides attached)

The tech world does not live in silos: security vulnerabilities can impact an entire ecosystem (case in point Meltdown and Spectre). How do open source projects and companies alike ensure that their security disclosure policies are up to standards, especially in the world of cloud computing?

This session will introduce different patterns for managing the disclosure of security vulnerabilities in use today and explore their trade-offs and limitations. We will look at the interaction of open source projects and downstreams (distros, product vendors, cloud providers or a combination of them) from the discovery of a vulnerability to it being fixed. This talk will give you a glimpse into a quite extensive machinery which kicks into gear across different organisations when security vulnerabilities are discovered and fixed behind the scenes.
