Containers introduced new attack surfaces: base image vulnerabilities, runtime exploits, secrets in environment variables, and privilege escalation. This guide provides a comprehensive security framework covering the entire container lifecycle—from build to runtime—based on NIST, CIS Benchmarks, and production incident learnings. Container Security Layers Build-Time Security Minimal Base Images Distroless images have 80% fewer CVEs than […]

Zero Trust is not a product—it’s an architecture philosophy. “Never trust, always verify” replaces the traditional perimeter-based security model. With remote work, cloud adoption, and sophisticated threats, the castle-and-moat approach is obsolete. This guide provides a practical implementation roadmap based on NIST, CISA, and real-world enterprise deployments. Zero Trust Pillars Pillar 1: Identity Identity is […]

Azure Functions Flex Consumption is the newest hosting tier, combining the best of Consumption (pay-per-use, scale-to-zero) and Premium (always-ready instances, VNET support). Now in General Availability, Flex Consumption addresses the main pain points of both existing tiers: Consumption’s cold starts and Premium’s minimum monthly cost. This guide covers when to choose Flex, configuration strategies, and […]

Choosing the right memory configuration for AWS Lambda is a balancing act between performance and cost. Too little memory causes slow execution (Lambda allocates CPU proportionally to memory). Too much wastes money. AWS Lambda Power Tuning, an open-source tool built on Step Functions, automates this optimization by benchmarking your function across multiple memory configurations and […]

Running Kubernetes in production requires more than deploying workloads—it demands security hardening, proper networking, observability, and disaster recovery planning. Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) handles control plane management, but the shared responsibility model means you must secure the data plane. This guide covers production hardening practices from dozens of enterprise AKS deployments. Network Architecture Azure CNI […]

AWS Fargate is serverless compute for containers—you define tasks and services, and AWS manages the underlying infrastructure. Unlike EC2-backed ECS, there are no instances to patch, scale, or monitor. This guide covers production deployment patterns including load balancing, auto-scaling, secrets management, and cost optimization strategies from running 500+ Fargate tasks in production. ECS Concepts Task […]
