Abstract:

In the last two years, the advanced container-based virtualization technology (which is represented by Docker) has been rapidly developed, and has been applied in more and more cloud computing infrastructures or services. However, for the security technology always falling behind, the containers cannot be secured by the existing cloud computing security technology. Therefore, using containers in cloud computing infrastructures will face huge risks of information security. This paper tries to analyze these risks and tries to give the corresponding countermeasures.

Key words: cloud computing, information security, container-based virtualization
