- How to Profile & Harden your Containers
Overview
Optimizing & hardening a container is a 3-step process, which can be automated in your CI/CD pipeline:
- Instrument and scan the container. RapidFort calls this step Stubbing. The instrumented container is referred to as the Stub throughout this guide
- Identify software components only necessary for your containerized application to function. RapidFort calls this step Profiling.
- Remove the unused components from your container. The result is an uninstrumented, optimized, and hardened container. RapidFort calls this step Hardening
