Public vs Hardened vs CleanStart Images

About this video

Every container starts with a base image, but not all base images are built the same. This video compares Public Images, Hardened Images, and CleanStart Source-Built Images to show how image composition impacts vulnerabilities, attack surface, and trust.

Every container starts with a base image.

But not all base images are built the same.

In this video, we compare Public Images, Hardened Images, and CleanStart Source-Built Images to understand how image composition impacts vulnerabilities, attack surface, and trust.

You’ll see why reducing packages and building from verified source code are fundamentally different approaches to container security - and how CleanStart Images are built with only the components your application actually needs.

Key takeaway:

"You can't remove your way to trust. You have to build it in."
