scanning-containers-with-trivy-in-cicd
This skill covers integrating Aqua Security's Trivy scanner into CI/CD pipelines for comprehensive container image vulnerability detection. It addresses scanning Docker images for OS package and application dependency CVEs, detecting misconfigurations in Dockerfiles, scanning filesystem and git repositories, and establishing severity-based quality gates that block deployment of vulnerable images.

# Scanning Containers with Trivy in CI/CD
## When to Use
- When building Docker container images in CI/CD and needing automated vulnerability scanning before registry push
- When establishing quality gates that prevent images with critical or high CVEs from reaching production
- When compliance requirements mandate vulnerability scanning of all container images before deployment
- When scanning IaC files (Dockerfiles, Kubernetes manifests) alongside container image scanning
- When needing a single tool to scan OS packages, language-specific dependencies, and misconfigurations
**Do not use** for runtime container security monitoring (use Falco), for scanning running containers in production (use runtime agents), or when only scanning application source code without containerization (use SAST tools).
