## What it is
A curated checklist and guide covering container security practices from image build to workload runtime, including supply chain, registry, runtime, infrastructure, and secrets management. It serves as a DevSecOps reference for hardening cloud native applications.

## Use cases
- harden docker images before deployment
- learn container security best practices
- secure kubernetes workloads checklist
- devsecops practices for containers
- container supply chain security guidance
- review container runtime security controls

## When to choose
- you need a structured checklist for securing containers from build to runtime
- you are building a DevSecOps program around containerized workloads
- you want curated links and guidance on image scanning, signing, and registry security

## When to avoid
- you need an automated scanning or enforcement tool rather than documentation
- you want hands-on labs or tutorials with runnable code
- you need vendor-specific configuration guides with step-by-step instructions
