Abstract

In today’s technological landscape, Docker containers running on Aws cloud have revolutionized the way applications deployed on cloud by offering scalable, lightweight, and efficient solutions. However, with popularity also comes critical security concerns. This research delves into vulnerabilities and security concerns present in Docker containers, particularly Drupal CMS containers running on Amazon Aws cloud. The research aims to fulfil the gap in existing literature review by proposing the Vulnerability Analyzer and Securing Container Framework. The model was designed and implemented to identify vulnerabilities and subsequently increasing the security of Drupal containers running on Aws cloud. Aqua Trivy, Anchore Engine, Chef, Apparmor, Synk, Selinux played important role in this research and proved that they are capable in reducing vulnerabilities of containers. Therefore, a multi tool approach proved to be successful in finding vulnerabilities in Drupal container security and eventually able to mitigate them.
