k8s Pod Security Policy: Why It Was Removed and What Replaced It
The k8s Pod Security Policy was deprecated in 1.21 and removed in 1.25. Here is why it went away and how to migrate to Pod Security Admission and Standards.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.

Docker architecture is a client-server system built on the daemon, containerd, images, and the kernel features that isolate containers. Here is how the pieces fit and where the security lines are.
A docker scanner has to check three separate layers — base OS packages, application dependencies, and the Dockerfile itself — and most tools are genuinely strong at only one or two.
Knowing how to scan Docker images for vulnerabilities before they ship is the difference between catching a known CVE in CI and finding it in an incident report.
A practical checklist for choosing a container security scanner, covering base-image coverage, registry integration, runtime relevance, and how scan noise actually gets managed.
One flag, --privileged, hands a container almost the same power as root on the host. Here is exactly what it turns on, why it breaks isolation, and the narrow capabilities that replace it.
Docker image labels are free-form key-value metadata that, used well, drive SBOM generation, ownership tracing, and vulnerability triage — used poorly, they're just clutter in the Dockerfile.
The default node image on Docker Hub ships a full Debian userland most services never touch — knowing when slim, alpine, or distroless actually pays off keeps builds smaller without breaking native modules.
To list images in a Docker registry you query the Registry HTTP API v2 directly, because the docker CLI has no command to enumerate a remote registry. Here is how to do it, and how to lock the endpoint down.
