Detasseling Docker and Other Kernel Related Protections

Presented at Kernelcon 2019, April 6, 2019, 1 p.m. (50 minutes)

It's happened before and it will happen again: that one ancient business application that refuses to die. It's riddled with security holes and is so fragile that a strong gust of wind could take it down. I'll take three perspectives through moving that app into the micro-services climate. Builders, breakers and defenders each get tools and techniques on how this radically popular but 'equally ancient' technology can be their friend.
