Docker Hardened Images are now free, covering Alpine, Debian, and over 1,000 images including databases, runtimes, and message buses. For security teams, this changes the economics of container vulnerability management. DHI includes security fixes from Docker’s security team, which simplifies security response. Platform teams can pull the patched base image and redeploy quickly. But free hardened images raise a question: how should this change your security practice? Here’s how our thinking is evolving at Docker. What Changes (and What Doesn’t) DHI gives you a security “waterline.” Below the waterline, Docker owns vulnerability management. Above it, you do. When a scanner…

The result may not be the death of open source, but the end of its long reign as the default foundation of modern software.
I coach volleyball and I do a lot of stat stuff on paper. I decided recently to see if I could find a way to more easily automate things. I’ve tried a few apps on the iPad, but they all have too many restrictions and they are hard to use in the heat of the moment. Paper and pencil have been simple, reliable, and they let me fix something easily.However.Paper takes some focus, and it’s hard to quickly summarize things. I wanted to make my own app, and Claude convinced me not to do this.Read on.This is part of a…
