Optimize Container Security With Nix and Docker
Jean-François Labonté

Securing containers is a priority in modern DevSecOps practices, especially when it comes to production environments. This session will show how combining Nix, a powerful package manager, with Docker can enhance container security with unparalleled granularity. By using Nix to define minimal and precise dependencies, you can build Docker images that are smaller, more efficient, and significantly reduce the attack surface. The talk will feature practical demonstrations and guidance on how to integrate Nix and Docker into your development pipeline, enabling you to safeguard your applications and infrastructure against modern cyber threats.
