Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes identifying a creation of a container within a system, selecting a security policy for the container, based on one or more attributes, identifying a key label associated with the security policy for the container, retrieving a data encryption key, utilizing the key label, and encrypting the container, utilizing the data encryption key. This may enable a highly granular level of automatic container-level security within the system that may be transparently implemented within the system, which may streamline container security and reduce an amount of stored data and processing necessary for implementing container security, and may thereby improve the performance of the system.
