> I *do* have enough Infosec experience to not trust container images... Who knows what's in those things?!?

They're pretty legit if you roll your own. Or if you trust a software project to make regular releases, especially whenever there's a security update.

Yeah, it's going to be a big trust relationship, but man... with *so* many potential moving parts, you're trusting them to not only update their app in the container image, but every underlying utility and library used.

That sounds like a lot of work for a small FOSS project to keep up with. Even then, how much behind regular OS updates will the software contained in the image be, even if you update it every week?

Standard Docker, basically irrelevant most of the time
