Scan for Vulnerabilities

• Use Scanning Tools: Tools like Trivy, Anchore, or Clair can help identify known vulnerabilities.
• Regularly Update Images: Keep your base images and dependencies up to date.

Logging and Monitoring

• Direct Logs to STDOUT/STDERR: This allows for easier log collection and analysis.
• Integrate with Monitoring Systems: Use tools like Prometheus or the ELK Stack to monitor container health.
