kubectl-neat VS trivy

It depends on kubectl-neat mentioned in pre-requisites.

I if you are getting objects out in yaml i recomend you to use neat https://github.com/itaysk/kubectl-neat

Install [neat]((https://github.com/itaysk/kubectl-neat) plugin with krew :

Clean Now let’s talk about how you can use the "Clean" feature of ValidKube to clean and enhance your YAML files with an instant click. It's repository kubectl-neat is https://github.com/itaysk/kubectl-neat It works as shown in image below :-

The idea behind Validkube is to fuse together the capabilities of three other popular open-source projects (kubeval, kubectl-neat & trivy) and present them in a single view, providing users with a way to ensure YAML code hygiene and security, in one place, with just a few clicks of the button.

neat - possibly my favourite of all the plugins is neat which removes all the generated, redundant fields from YAML output of Kubernetes resources. If you're tired of scrolling through all the managedFields and other garbage, then definitely give this one a try.

There is a product that does this called kubectl-neat: https://github.com/itaysk/kubectl-neat

4. Trivy: https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy Trivy is a versatile tool that scans for vulnerabilities in your containers, and also checks for vulnerabilities in your application dependencies.

Trivy. A Simple and Comprehensive Vulnerability Scanner for Containers.

Using Trivy:

Trivy is a mature and comprehensive open source tool from Aqua Security that supports scanning multiple sources, from file systems to containers and VMs. Trivy also looks beyond vulnerabilities, to scan licenses, secrets, infrastructure as code misconfiguration, and more.

I would suggest to think about the thread model that you are facing so you can have a better mental model of the weak points of your environment. The very very big majority of these attacks will be automated probing for publicly known vulnerabilities or default credentials. That means the maintainers of the software you are running and the channels on which their updates are shipped to you and deployed are very important factors. For software that is not installed from a trusted and well maintained source (e.g. Ubuntus main repository), you want to make extra sure that vulnerabilities are updated. E.g. your deployed docker containers might contain security issues, you can run checks on these with tools like trivy. The same is also true for appliances, in case your router or firewall contains a software vulnerability, how will you be notified and how will the required updates be deployed?
