Abstract

One example method includes packaging a containerized application into at least two images. The first image may include the main application and the second image includes a decryptor. Sensitive information associated with the application is encrypted and included in the second image. The decryptor operates separately from the main application. After the decryptor successfully completes, the main application is run. The main application may include a copier layer to copy any data decrypted by the decryptor into the main application.
