This episode of the Chainguard Explained series explores how to build more secure container images using Chainguard Development and Production Images. Sam Ward demonstrates how multi-stage Docker builds allow developers to use familiar tools during development while keeping unnecessary packages, build dependencies, and utilities out of production environments. The session compares traditional open-source images with Chainguard alternatives, using Grype scans to highlight reductions in vulnerabilities. Sam also demonstrates how minimal, distroless Production Images remove shell access and unnecessary components, helping organisations reduce their container attack surface while maintaining developer flexibility.
