Guidance for Microsoft Defender for Containers — Kubernetes and container security across AKS, Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes, EKS, GKE, and OpenShift. Covers agentless discovery, agentless vulnerability assessment for images and running containers (powered by Microsoft Defender Vulnerability Management), runtime threat detection via the Defender sensor (eBPF on Linux), Kubernetes data plane hardening with Azure Policy / Gatekeeper, registry scanning for ACR / ECR / GAR, admission control, attack path analysis, and Sentinel integration. WHEN: Defender for Containers, AKS security, container runtime threat detection, Kubernetes admission control, image vulnerability scanning, ACR scan, EKS GKE security in Defender for Cloud, K8s posture, container attack path, Defender container sensor, Gatekeeper Azure Policy AKS, agentless container scan. DO NOT USE for VM/host hardening (use defender-for-servers), AKS networking design (use azure-network-security-design), or general AKS day-2 ops unrelated to security.
