Better Base Images: Containers Developers Actually Want to Use

Stop fighting CVEs and start shipping code.

Date: April 8, 2026
Time: 11:30 a.m.—12:30 p.m. IST
Format: Virtual developer workshop

Container images are the foundation of modern software, but many images pulled from public registries contain hundreds of vulnerabilities. Developers often spend hours reviewing scan results, triaging CVEs, and working through security tickets instead of building features.

In this developer-focused session, Hannah Hawken, Partner Sales Engineer at Chainguard, will walk through how teams are using minimal, hardened container images built directly from source to reduce vulnerability noise and simplify container security.

You’ll see a live demo showing how replacing a typical container image with a Chainguard Image can dramatically reduce vulnerabilities—without changing your development workflow.

What You'll Learn

  • Why most container images contain large numbers of vulnerabilities
  • How minimal container images reduce attack surface
  • How to replace common base images with Chainguard Images
  • How to reduce CVE noise in vulnerability scans
  • How developers can build and ship containers more efficiently

Live Demo

In this hands-on demo, we’ll walk through a real developer workflow:

  • Build a containerized app using a common base image
  • Run a vulnerability scan and review the results
  • Swap the base image for a Chainguard image
  • Rebuild and compare vulnerability results

You'll see how developers can move from hundreds of CVEs to near-zero vulnerabilities while maintaining a simple workflow.

Who Should Attend

This session is designed for:

  • Software developers
  • Platform engineers
  • DevOps engineers
  • Kubernetes practitioners
  • DevSecOps teams

If you build, ship, or maintain containerized applications, this session will provide practical techniques you can use immediately.

Reserve your spot and learn how developers are building secure containers without slowing down development.
