Abstract
Aspects of the invention include obtaining, via a processor, an original docker image from a customer, encrypting a disk image using content from the original docker image and encrypting a bootloader. A re-packaged image is created using the encrypted disk image and the secure encrypted bootloader. The re-packaged image is deployed by inserting the re-package image into a pod container and by means of using a mutating webhook, granting elevated privileges to said container and creating a secured Kubernetes pod for protecting workloads, wherein the secured Kubernetes pod has at least one virtual machine containing the pod container.
