With the development of the 5G technology, edge computing will sink the computing center to the edge of the network close to the user, with low latency, high security, and lightweight features. The development of edge computing also puts forward a series of requirements for security, standardization, and unification. Docker container technology highly meets the existing needs of edge computing due to its lightweight, standardization, convenience, and security isolation. This article mainly analyzes the vulnerability of Docker containers and summarizes the security problems faced by the application of Docker container technology under edge computing systems. It also introduces a container monitoring software Prometheus and proposes a feasible edge computing risk monitoring model based on the Docker engine and Prometheus monitoring software.
