Why architecture matters here

Container security fails on scan gaps, wildcard capabilities, and unmonitored runtime. Architecture matters because build + registry + runtime all need controls.

The architecture: every piece explained

The top strip is the build path. Base image. Image scanner. Registry policy. Runtime seccomp.

The middle row is runtime hardening. gVisor / Kata. Rootless + read-only FS. PodSecurity Admission. Network policy.

The lower rows are detection. Runtime IDS. Audit + logs. Ops — patch + attestation + IR.

End-to-end flow

End-to-end: image built from minimal base. Scanner blocks CVE-high. Registry admission enforces signed + scanned. K8s admits pod under PSA restricted profile with seccomp. Rootless + RO FS. Network policy denies east-west by default. Falco alerts on abnormal syscalls.
