A better app delivery can only be through Cloud
IT is challenged by the line of business to deliver a competitive edge to compete in a global market. Securely delivering vApp and data to any device is a core IT workflow to enable productivity. Top executives at the biggest corporations are now handling most of their business via their mobile device because they need to be able to make decisions where customers, suppliers, and employees are at exactly the moment it matters.
CEO of Coca-Cola Germany, Ulrik Nehammer, says about his need to be mobile that “the most dangerous place to make a decision is in the office.”.
Isolating systems with Linux Namespaces
If you’ve used tools like Docker, you already know that these tools are capable of isolating processes in small “containers”. Running processes in Docker containers is like running them in virtual machines, only these containers are significantly lighter than virtual machines.
With the introduction of Linux namespaces, it became possible to have multiple “nested” process trees. Each process tree can have an entirely isolated set of processes. This can ensure that processes belonging to one process tree cannot inspect or kill – in fact cannot even know of the existence of – processes in other sibling or parent process trees. Every time a computer with Linux boots up, it starts with just one process, with process identifier (PID) 1. This process is the root of the process tree, and it initiates the rest of the system by performing the appropriate maintenance work and starting the correct daemons/services.

How to improve the security of Linux containers
Software developers use Linux containers to save time and money, providing a mechanism to build much more manageable applications through development, testing and environments of implementation with a better security in the software life cycle as in their actions and scenarios.
According to Forrester, more than half of operations and IT development responsible see security as the biggest concern when adopting containers.
