Ask HN: Are you using docker?

1 pointsby gauravphoenixalmost 10 years ago
If yes, are you using it in production? Do you have security concerns?

Yes, I am using it and no, I am not worried.<p>If someone were to break through my webservice and then break out of the Docker container they&#x27;d be on an AWS Elastic Beanstalk container that doesn&#x27;t even have public keys for SSH on it nor a running SSH server (i.e. nothing of value). If there is the slightest hint that something is not right with one of these containers I just terminate the whole instance and replacements automatically spawn.<p>Since these are all deployed via continuous integration <i>I</i> do not even have SSH access to the instances--they are disposable.<p>And if anyone happens to be curious:<p>Commit -&gt; Travis-CI -&gt; S3 -&gt; Elastic Beanstalk staging environment<p>If staging goes well then we merge to another branch which ends up in an Elastic Beanstalk production environment.
