Containerization Checklist
Containerization Setup
Verify that the host operating system supports containers
Install the container runtime, such as Docker or containerd
Configure the container runtime settings according to best practices
Set up a local container registry, or connect to a remote registry
Test the container runtime installation with a simple example container
Security and Compliance
Implement role-based access control (RBAC) for container management
Regularly scan container images for vulnerabilities using a trusted scanning tool
Ensure container images are signed and verified before deployment
Apply network policies to restrict container communication to only necessary paths
Enable logging and monitoring for container activities and access
Resource Management
Set resource limits and requests for CPU and memory for each container
Configure autoscaling policies for containers based on resource usage
Use namespaces to isolate different applications or environments
Monitor resource usage and performance metrics for containers
Optimize container startup times and minimize container image sizes
Data Management
Set up persistent storage solutions for stateful containers
Ensure proper backups and disaster recovery plans are in place for container data
Use volume mounts to manage configuration and secrets outside of container images
Implement data encryption both at rest and in transit for sensitive information
Regularly review and clean up unused volumes and persistent storage
