Rootless or non-root Linux containers have been the most requested feature for the .NET container team. We recently announced that all .NET 8 container images will be configurable as non-root with a single line of code. This change is a welcome improvement in security posture. In that last post, I promised a follow-up on how to approach non-root hosting with Kubernetes. That’s what we’ll cover today. You can try hosting a non-root container on your cluster with our non-root Kubernetes sample . It is part of a larger set of Kubernetes samples we’re working on. This post will help you follow Kubernetes “Restricted” hardening best practices . Non-root hosting is a key requirement of the guidance. runAsNonRoot Most of what we’ll be discussing relates to the SecurityContext section of a Kubernetes manifest. It holds security configuration that is applied by Kubernetes. spec: containers: - name: aspnetapp image: dotnetnonroot.azurecr.io/aspnetapp secur...

Introduction Welcome to this blog series on OpenAI and .NET! Artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the ways we live and work. Some early examples of how AI is being embedded into the applications you use today include search in Bing , office productivity in Microsoft 365 , and developer productivity in GitHub . As a developer, you might be thinking, “I want to use these same AI features in my own applications”. Although the technology used to train the underlying AI models can be complex, using these models in your applications doesn’t have to be. Over the next few months, we plan on publishing a series of blog posts showcasing samples and discussing a series of AI-related building blocks to help you add OpenAI-powered AI capabilities to your .NET applications. But first, an introduction. What is OpenAI OpenAI is a research and deployment company. They are the creators of the models powering experiences like ChatGPT and Bing Image Creator . These models include: Generative...
