  • trivy

    Find vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, secrets, SBOM in containers, Kubernetes, code repositories, clouds and more

  • Trivy to scan your Container Image, for example as an Artefact finished building for your application in CI/CD.

  • trivy-operator

    Kubernetes-native security toolkit

  • Trivy-Operator (previously known as Starboard) to continuously scan all new workloads in your Kubernetes Cluster. It also uses Trivy so you have a close engine stack.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • starboard-exporter

    A standalone exporter for vulnerability reports and other CRs created by Trivy Operator (formerly Starboard).

  • Starboard-Operator (by GiantSwam) exposes the Reports created by Trivy-Operator as Prometheus compatible Metrics. Next you can use Grafana to get an overview of all your currently running workloads and their vulnerabilities data.

  • Monokle

    🧐 Monokle Desktop empowers you to better create, understand, and deploy YAML manifests with a visual UI that also provides policy validation and cluster insights.

  • Monokle is another viable option for doing this pre-deployment. It has OPA functionality integrated so you set up and configure additional policies to be checked earlier in your workflow. It also helps with other pre-deployment validation issues. The performance was a bit off for a while but seems they've been working on it as of late.
