integrity policy enforcement

About this tag
Integrity policy enforcement on Azure Linux combines dm-verity, code-integrity controls, and interpreter/process integrity enforcement (IPE) to create an immutable, signed container host. Microsoft's OS Guard initiative integrates these protections with SELinux policies and Trusted Launch, targeting hardened AKS and cloud-native workloads. The Image Customizer tool streamlines builds while embedding integrity checks, reducing the need for VM-driven workflows. These features aim to prevent unauthorized modifications and ensure host-level security for container deployments.
