Simple container-based web apps and services don’t need Kubernetes to run on Azure. IBM, Maersk
At the heart of the modern cloud is a tension between two different philosophies: IaaS, where you build a virtual infrastructure on a fabric of host systems managed by a cloud provider, and PaaS, where you write code for runtimes managed by your provider, targeting their service APIs. Both approaches give you a layer of abstraction from physical infrastructure and host operations, allowing you to focus on your applications.
Containers provide a middle ground between these two methods, letting you rely on platforms managed by cloud operators while allowing you to write more complex code and to package required applications and other dependencies. You don’t have to manage OS-level security or updates and you’re not limited to the languages and APIs supported by platform runtimes. It’s an effective compromise, with technologies such as Kubernetes providing
Todays columnist, Kelly White of RiskRecon runs through seven questions security teams need to ask when setting up the controls for Microsoft 365 Enterprise.
A newly discovered Azure Functions vulnerability lets an attacker escalate privileges and escape the Azure Functions Docker to the Docker host.
After an internal assessment, Microsoft determined that the vulnerability has no security impact on Azure Functions users because the Docker host itself gets protected by a Microsoft Hyper-V boundary, according to researchers from Intezer who discovered the flaw. Based on their findings, Microsoft has since made changes to block/etc and the /sys directories.
Azure Functions, essentially the Microsoft equivalent to Amazon Web Services Lambda service, operates as a serverless compute service that lets users run code without having to provision or manage infrastructure.
