Abstract: Various systems and methods are described for testing and deployment of containers on cloud and edge computing hardware. An example development platform may include capabilities for identifying, from a remote location, data to import a container software package. The development platform may store a container image, based on the data to import the container software package. The development platform may perform a security evaluation of the container image, before execution of the container image. The development platform may store results of the security evaluation of the container image in a database accessible to the development platform. The development platform may add the container image into a registry of containers available for execution at the development platform, with execution of the container image being based on verification of the results of the security evaluation and use of the registry of containers.
