I ordered my friend @aerabi.com new comic, Black Forest Shadow, about Docker/K8s security. It just arrived. He drew every panel with AI.

People often ask me about security: "What should we do if we only want to do a few things?" So, here are 5 things to do: 1⃣ Use sbx for agents 2⃣ Have 5 days of cooldown for packages 3⃣ Use Docker Hardened Images 4⃣ Generate SBOMs 5⃣ Scan them with Trivy

Someone sent me a DM today and said my CV-builder GitHub CI pipeline was a game-changer for him. My CV is on a GitHub repo, and it's built and published as an artifact every time you push to the repo. I gave a talk at @Docker All Hands about it once. youtu.be/DMwbXN3QKbs?...

A document without a signature is just a rumor. Use Cosign to cryptographically sign your container images and attestations, ensuring complete supply chain trust. 🖋️🔐 Commando 9️⃣ Evie signs every artifact so that no CVE can tamper with it. 🤠 Meet the team: dockersecurity.io/co...

Mohammad-Ali A'râbi @aerabi.com · 08/04/2026

Complex builds shouldn't rely on massive CLI commands. Use Docker Bake (docker-bake.hcl) to define tags, multi-platform builds, and attestations as version-controlled code. 🏗️ Commando 8️⃣ Captain Ahab brings order to the chaos of the container whale. 🐋 Meet the team: dockersecurity.io/co...

Prove your vulnerability exemptions are legitimate. VEX Attestations act as tamper-proof OCI referrers that travel with your container, automating compliance. ✅ Commando 7️⃣ RuinTan, the Immortal, grants invincible, verifiable protection cards to the innocent. 💀 More: dockersecurity.io/co...

Stop scanner fatigue! Use VEX (Vulnerability Exploitability eXchange) to formally exempt CVEs that aren't exploitable in your specific context. 🔇 Commando 6️⃣ Mina, the Undead Assassin, knows exactly which monsters are a threat and which are harmless. 🧛‍♀️ Learn more: dockersecurity.io/co...

Want to slash your attack surface to zero? Use Docker Hardened Images: FROM dhi.io/node:25 Instead of: FROM node:25 Hardened Images are not hard. Commando 5️⃣ Artemisia, the Amazonian Commander, guards the heavily fortified, zero-CVE district. ⚓ www.dockersecurity.i...

Thank you, @aerabi.com, for gifting a copy of your newly published book, Docker and Kubernetes Security, and for bringing it all the way from Germany to Istanbul. I will go through it soon. If you want to learn @docker.com and Kubernetes security, I highly recommend this book.

A white piece of paper features a handwritten dedication in blue ink at the top, reading "To the best Captain in India," followed by the signature "Mohammad-Ali." Below this, printed in a gothic-style font, is the title "Docker and Kubernetes Security." Underneath the title is a black illustration of a stylized archer, possibly a man, riding a lion-like mythological creature with a bow and arrow. The paper is placed in front of a computer monitor displaying a vibrant, blurry red and orange abstract wallpaper with a row of indistinct application icons at the bottom.
