We’re excited to announce the Docker 4.17 release, which introduces
new functionality into Docker Desktop to improve your developer
experience.With Docker 4.17, you’ll have easier access to
vulnerability data and recommendations on how to act on
that information.Also, we’re making it easier than ever to bring
the tools you already love into Docker Desktop with self-published
Docker Extensions. Read on to check out the highlights from this
release.
Container adoption in enterprises continues to grow, and Kubernetes
has become the de facto standard for deploying and operating
containerized applications.At the same time, security is shifting
left and should be addressed earlier in the software development
lifecycle (SDLC).Security has morphed from being a static gateway
at the end of the development process to something that (ideally)
is embedded every step of the way.This can potentially increase the
effort for engineering and DevOps teams.

Supply chain attacks increased by 300% between
2020 and 2021, making clear that security breaches are
happening earlier in the software development lifecycle.Research
also shows that in 2021, 80% of cyber security
breaches were due to human error, and 20% involved attacks on
desktops and laptops. Developer workstations are being
targeted for several reasons.Workstations have access to critical
code and infrastructure, and the earlier a vulnerability is
introduced, the more difficult it can be to identify the
breach.Developers need to trust

Kubernetes has been a game-changer for ensuring scalable, high
availability container orchestration in the Software, DevOps, and
Cloud Native ecosystems.While the value is great, it doesn’t come
for free.Significant effort goes into learning Kubernetes and all
the underlying infrastructure and configuration necessary to power
it.Still more effort goes into getting a cluster up and running
that’s configured for production with automated scalability,
security, and cluster maintenance. All
We’ll walk through new Docker Compose features the team has built,
share what we plan to work on next, and remind you to switch to
Compose V2 as soon as
possible. Compose V1 support will no longer be provided after June
2023 and will be removed from all future Docker Desktop versions.If
you’re still on Compose V1, we recommend you switch as soon as
possible to leave time to address any issues with running your
Compose applications.(Until the end of June 2023,
