Microcontainers and Tools for Hardcore Container Debugging
Download as pptx, pdf0 likes401 views
The document discusses microcontainers and tools for debugging containers. It begins with introductions of the presenters and an agenda. It then provides information on what containers are, how they work, and common issues. Microcontainers are introduced as a way to reduce image size and security risks. The document demonstrates how to build microcontainers and debug containers using open source tools from Oracle. It concludes with links to more information and a question/answer section.

- 5. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | A container is: 1. An application bundled with its dependencies (also called a container image). 2. A running copy of that application that has been isolated from other system resources via a container runtime.

- 7. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Container Images • Like a VM image • Immutable Bundle • Application code plus dependencies • Portable across different hosts
- 8. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Running Container • Like a virtual machine • Protected from host and other applications via: – Isolation of Owned Resources – Namespaces – Restriction of Actions – Capabilities – Limits on Shared Resources – Cgroups
- 9. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Isolation – Namespaces + Access Control • Linux Namespaces – User – Ipc – Uts – Network – Mount – Process • Access Control: SELinux/AppArmor – Prevents access to other resources in the event of a namespace escape
- 10. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Restriction – Capabilities + Setuid + Seccomp • Drop linux capabilities • Setuid Setgid to limited user and group • Restrict access to syscalls via seccomp
- 11. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Limits – Cgroups + Resource Limits • Cgroups are primarily used to control – Memory – CPU – Block IO • Other Resource Limits – Prevent filling up disk (quotas) – Prevent overloading host daemons (rate limiting) – Prevent network saturation (qos)
- 12. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Container Orchestrator • Primarily designed for stateless microservices • Schedules work across a fleet of machines • Keeps multiple copies of an application running • Allows for dynamic scaling of application • Defines how applications can communicate
- 13. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Containerization Operational Changes • Rebuild instead of security patch • Different monitoring tools • Deployment as immutable artifacts • Build tooling vs configuration management
- 14. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Worst Practices • Developers without an operations mentality • Multiple applications per container • Lack of CI/CD automation • Container Bloat • Handling of security vulnerabilities Confidential – Oracle Internal/Restricted/Highly Restricted 14

- 18. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | What’s wrong with big containers? • Large images – Often > 1GB in size • Bloat – I wanted a banana. I got the banana and a jungle and an 800lb Gorilla • Privilege escalation – whole Linux user space bigger attack surface • Vulnerability management – What files do I really need to patch?
- 19. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | A Microcontainer • Contains only – Single executable – Dependencies (of the executable) • Runs with a read only root filesystem • Files are all owned and read by a single user
- 20. Copyright © 2017, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. | Result • Small image – Eliminate layers reduce complexity • Fast, easy distribution • Smaller attack surface • Certainty over vulnerabilities
