Docker Hardened Images: Secure, Minimal, and Ready for Production
From the very beginning, Docker has been dedicated to empowering developers to build, share, and run applications efficiently and securely. With over 14 million container images and more than 11 billion monthly pulls, Docker Hub stands as a global cornerstone in modern software delivery.
