Securing Google Cloud Run serverless workloads
Blog post from Sysdig
Google Cloud Run is a serverless compute platform that merges the ease of serverless computing with the adaptability of containerized workloads, allowing developers to define containers while abstracting infrastructure management. Sysdig Secure embeds security and compliance across the Cloud Run lifecycle, offering features such as advanced image scanning, runtime security, and forensic incident response. This integration helps maintain a seamless security protocol even for ephemeral workloads, as Cloud Run automatically scales services based on demand. By leveraging technologies like Kubernetes, Istio, and Knative within Google Cloud's Anthos, Cloud Run ensures applications remain portable and compliant with open standards. Sysdig's support for Anthos and Cloud Run enhances monitoring and security capabilities by using transparent instrumentation and integrating with Kubernetes metadata, facilitating effective security management for serverless environments.
