Managing container infrastructure in a production environment is challenged by problems of scale. One of the biggest problems is trust – specifically trust of the application.
To put it another way, can you trust that all containers in your Kubernetes or OpenShift cluster are performing the tasks you expect of them? We know that containerization has increased the pace of deployment, but has trust kept pace? If a container becomes compromised in some fashion, how many other containers are at risk and how far has trust been broken?
