Upstream security releases move fast. So do we. Docker Hardened Images now track the latest Python & Go security updates, with built-in SBOMs and SLSA L3 provenance. And yes, Secure-by-default should be the default. Explore Hardened Images: https://lnkd.in/eGpEqHBV

Heading to NVIDIA GTC? This is one of the few events where you can zoom out and really see where AI infrastructure is headed - from model serving and inference to hardware, tooling, and the realities of running it all at scale. We’ll be there sharing what we’re building, including how Docker Sandboxes help teams run agents freely and safely and learning alongside the community. March 16 - 19 in San Jose. See you there.

We asked Docker Captains what they wish more developers understood and some clear themes emerged: • Docker is more than just containers - it’s a comprehensive platform that improves the SDLC • Docker provides security to prevent vulnerabilities from sneaking in through unexpected ways • Docker has new solutions for AI developers Docker Captains work in cloud-native environments every day and speak from experience. What’s something you wish more devs knew?

Here's what I know: developers are busier and more relevant than ever. AI is giving them superpowers. Next week is Barcelona week. MWC / 4YFN - one of the most important events in tech. I'm moderating a session there I've been genuinely looking forward to: "𝗔𝗜 𝗪𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗝𝗼𝗯, 𝗕𝘂𝘁..." On stage with me: Per Ploug Krogslund from Docker, Inc, and Agur Jõgi from Pipedrive, and the global developer voice Francesco Ciulla. Yet I still get asked - mostly by people outside of tech - whether we need developers anymore. This session is here to answer exactly that. And spoiler: they're not going anywhere. If you're at Mobile World Congress / 4YFN, come find us. https://lnkd.in/dnddxFDX... cc: GSMA, WeAreDevelopers. MWC, 4YFN #developers #tech #software #AI

As AI agents generate more code than ever, the real question isn’t just how fast you can ship, it’s whether you can trust what’s running in production. On the latest Stack Overflow Podcast, Docker COO Mark Cavage unpacks how Docker is focused on bridging that software supply chain trust gap - from making Docker Hardened Images free (and what “hardened” actually means), to Sandboxes, and coding agent updates. A thoughtful conversation about the systems behind the commands we take for granted - and what it takes to operate infrastructure at global scale. 🎧 Tune in: https://bit.ly/4bsnp7d

Security doesn’t stop at the base image. When we made Docker Hardened Images free, we raised the baseline for container security across the ecosystem. Now we’re extending that same rigor to system packages. With Docker Hardened System Packages, every package goes through the same secure pipeline as our images. That includes 8000+ Alpine packages - built from source, continuously patched, fully attested, and SLA-backed. Debian coverage coming soon. The same security standard, now applied to what’s inside the container. Learn more:

Still debugging Dockerfiles by rerunning builds and digging through logs? Join Reynald Adolphe (Microsoft / VS Code) for a VS Code Live session featuring Docker’s Remy Suen and Jonathan S. They will demo how to debug Dockerfiles directly in VS Code using the Docker DX extension. If you’re building images daily and troubleshooting the hard way, this session shows a faster, more interactive workflow in action. 📅 Thurs, March 5 11am ET Register / watch → https://lnkd.in/gqcUnDVZ

When AI writes more code, who takes responsibility for what ships? In the newest Ship Happens episode hosted by Per Ploug Krogslund, Arun Gupta (VP DevEx at JetBrains and Docker Captain) gets real about maintainer burnout, funding, and why OSPOs matter even more in the agent era. As AI generates more code, open source sustainability and governance move to the front lines. Tune in: https://lnkd.in/g_P4A-_Q
