Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to specifying security settings for containers and extracting and applying such security settings from container images provided by e.g., developers or vendors of an application. More specifically, a developer of an application may determine a minimum level of security that is necessary for the application to operate and generate custom security settings based on the determined minimum level of security. The custom security settings may be embedded into a container image corresponding to the application. A user of the application may retrieve the container image and extract the custom security settings and compare them to default security settings. In response to determining that the custom security settings are a subset of the default security settings, the custom security settings may be applied to a container that is run based on the container image.
