Buildpacks Move the Container Hardening Control Point Away From the Dockerfile
Cloud Native Buildpacks, recently graduating within the CNCF, are fundamentally reshaping container security. A key shift moves container hardening control away from individual Dockerfiles and into a centralized builder managed by platform engineering. This enables fleet-wide patching and dramatically simplifies security maintenance. The emergence of vendors like BellSoft offering hardened builders—such as the Paketo builder—confirms this strategic shift. As explored in "Platform Engineering Maturity Emerges as a Key Differentiator for Enterprise AI Success," this approach is becoming critical for modern AI deployments.
