Use specific image tags for production (avoid latest) Configure resource limits: memory and CPU constraints Enable read-only root filesystem when possible Run containers with non-root user (--user 1000:1000) Use --security-opt=no-new-privileges flag Regularly update container images for security patches Implement proper network segmentation Monitor container metrics for anomalies Kubernetes Security Context Recommended security context for Kubernetes deployments
