A development team incorporates a container security approach featuring an extra component adjacent to each workload. They observe better performance across the environment after implementing this method. What explains this performance benefit?
They delay the checks until the container ends to avoid impacting normal operations
They tie the scanning process directly into the primary container to enhance kernel-level permissions
They run code modifications in each container, overriding suspicious files as they appear
They place the checking tasks in a separate component, preventing main workloads from absorbing excessive resource usage
One method introduces a separate companion component for each container. This separate environment gathers monitoring information and performs checks without mixing system resources with the original container's main tasks. It reduces the overhead on mission-critical processes while still having direct visibility into runtime activities. Approaches that modify a running container's code can be risky, those that rely on kernel-level integration might interfere with container isolation, and those using scans after shutdown skip real-time detection. By splitting the tasks between two adjacent components, the main workload runs more efficiently.
