Problem Statement
What are typical security considerations when using Docker in production?
Explanation
In production you need to consider minimizing the container’s privileges (for example avoid running as root inside the container). You should regularly scan images for vulnerabilities, use signed and verified base images, limit resource access and network exposure, use proper user namespaces, update dependencies frequently, and isolate sensitive data using secrets management rather than embedding credentials in images. Mis-configurations can lead to container escape or privilege escalation.
