    "can get the original secret" is a phrase which should worry a security-conscious person

    I'm not certain, but I believe the subtle point parent was trying to make, is the difference between "base 10" and "base ten". Every base is "base 10" in its own base ;)

    Well, apart from "6) Don’t use only the “latest” tag". If I'm not using latest, and I don't know that the Apache and Nginx images have been updated, then it's very likely that "yum…
