Technical Overview

Engineering breakdown of Deep Dive: Docker Seccomp & AppArmor Profiles (1842). Bare-metal hardware performance requires isolated kernel parameters, reduced syscall surface, and mandatory access controls. This article walks through the design, deployment, and observability of hardened container runtimes on Votion Cloud's bare‑metal fleet.

Seccomp Profile Architecture

Seccomp (Secure Computing Mode) filters syscalls at the kernel level. A default Docker profile allows ~300 syscalls; our custom profile trims this to 112, eliminating high‑risk calls such as ptrace, process_vm_writev, and bpf. The profile is expressed in JSON and loaded via --security-opt seccomp=/etc/docker/seccomp‑custom.json.

AppArmor Profile Hardening

AppArmor provides path‑based mandatory access control. Our baseline profile (docker-apparmor-1842) restricts container filesystem access to /app/**, denies /proc/** write, and blocks mount and cap_sys_admin. The profile is compiled with apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/docker-apparmor-1842 and attached via --security-opt apparmor=docker-apparmor-1842.
