Title: Do Containers fully 'contain' security issues? A closer look at Docker and Warden.

Description: Container technology has been around in various shapes or forms for sometime; however, the recent arrival of Docker, Warden and others who provide a lightweight option to virtualization has put the "container" buzzword on top of most DevOps' tool kits. As usual, what has been overlooked is security and potential issues that can come about as a result. This presentation take a closer look at Docker and Warden that are two commonly used container technologies today, and potential security issues.
