One major issue when working with containers is their deprecation and maintenance costs. Too often, containers are built one day, shipped to production because they work, and forgotten there until the next rebuild (which may not happen anytime soon). Libraries are still libraries, and security fixes are pushed every day into distributions package repositories. Sysadmins are used to patch the systems; however, now it's a total anti-pattern to update a running container. Containers need to be rebuilt, exactly like developers are used to rebuilding applications with updated libraries to get rid of bugged code. The exception is that we are lucky enough to have tools that monitor each and every layer of our Docker images and tell us how and when they are vulnerable, allowing us to simply rebuild and redeploy them.

Getting ready

To step through this recipe, you will need:

  • A working Docker installation

  • A free account at Quay.io and/or a paid...
