This paper explores the critical need for robust security measures in microservices and container technologies. This research aims to provide security approaches for microservices and container deployment, covering all life cycle stages. The study assesses the security of containers by using virtual configurations, Grype, and Anchore, together with automated procedures and methods for responding to security incidents. This paper also examines the performance of security tools while considering the trade-off between security and cost in containerized environments. This comprehensive research offers valuable insights and proven strategies for creating and sustaining robust security frameworks. It covers theoretical and practical aspects of container security, guiding best practices.
