The analogy between IT security and car safety is really insightful. However, it's also interesting that cars are two to three orders of magnitude less safe than rail and air travel, respectively, in terms of injuries and fatalities pe

(Author here.) That's a good question. In this case, the main benefit I was after was easy setup of consistent development environments. We have in the past (and still do) use vagrant + ansible for the same purpose, but Dockerfiles are

(Author here.) So far as I can tell, it's not that there are known, specific things that one can do to break out of a docker container as root; it's just that the space of possible things you can do is larger, so there is more sur

Running untrusted programs as root in a docker container is definitely not recommended (and indeed you should be very wary of running anything as root). In the slides, I didn't have time to go into how to run processes in containers wi

Thanks! Isolation is definitely one of the main benefits for us. Compared to e.g. a chroot, docker also lets us disable networking and restrict memory etc. for the process in the container. It's another important layer of security. Ano

I'm very glad to hear that it was understandable! I can't say I've used many of the community images. We generally just use the base OS images and install packages as needed. The Dockerfile makes it pretty easy to do.
