Distroless Docker Images: The How and Why

Securing a Docker image does not just stop at securing the software you put into it. What about the base image security issues? How can we reduce potential attack vectors, so you end up with a more secure, and scanner friendly, container image? In this talk, Arturo Aparicio will show how you can build Distroless Docker images, and why it makes sense to use them.
