The JSON report and CI/CD configuration may be subject to change or breakage +across GitLab releases. + +Your Kubernetes cluster may run workloads based on images that the Container Security analyzer +didn't scan. These images may therefore contain known vulnerabilities. By including an extra job in +your pipeline that scans for those security risks and displays them in the vulnerability report, you +can use GitLab to audit your Kubernetes workloads and environments. + +GitLab provides integration with open-source tools for vulnerability analysis in Kubernetes clusters: + +- [Starboard](https://github.com/aquasecurity/starboard) + +To integrate GitLab with security scanners other than those listed here, see +[Security scanner integration](../../../development/integrations/secure.md). + +You can enable cluster image scanning by [including the CI job](#configuration) +in your existing `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. + +## Prerequisites + +To enable cluster image scanning in your pipeline, you need the following: + +- [GitLab Runner](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/) + with the [`docker`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/executors/docker.html) + or [`kubernetes`](https://docs.gitlab.com/runner/install/kubernetes.html) + executor. +- Docker `18.09.03` or later installed on the same computer as the runner.

Obtain the Kubernetes API URL. + + Get the API URL by running this command: + + ```shell + API_URL=$(kubectl cluster-info | grep -E 'Kubernetes master|Kubernetes control plane' | awk '/http/ {print $NF}') + ``` + +1. Obtain the CA certificate: + + 1. List the secrets with `kubectl get secrets`. One should have a name similar to + `default-token-xxxxx`. Copy that token name for use below. + + 1.

When downloading, you always receive the most recent +artifact. + +### Customize the cluster image scanning settings + +You can customize how GitLab scans your cluster. For example, to restrict the analyzer to get +results for only a certain workload, use the [`variables`](../../../ci/yaml/index.md#variables) +parameter in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` to set [CI/CD variables](#cicd-variables-for-cluster-image-scanning). +The variables you set in your `.gitlab-ci.yml` overwrite those in +`Cluster-Image-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml`. + +#### CI/CD variables for cluster image scanning + +You can [configure](#customize-the-cluster-image-scanning-settings) analyzers by using the following CI/CD variables: + +| CI/CD Variable | Default | Description | +| ------------------------------ | ------------- | ----------- | +| `CIS_KUBECONFIG` | `""` | File used to configure access to the Kubernetes cluster. See the [Kubernetes documentation](https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/access-application-cluster/configure-access-multiple-clusters/) for more details. | +| `CIS_CONTAINER_NAME` | `""` | Name of the container used in the Kubernetes resource you want to filter vulnerabilities for. For example, `alpine`. | +| `CIS_RESOURCE_NAME` | `""` | Name of the Kubernetes resource you want to filter vulnerabilities for. For example, `nginx`. | +| `CIS_RESOURCE_NAMESPACE` | `""` | Namespace of the Kubernetes resource you want to filter vulnerabilities for. For example, `production`. | +| `CIS_RESOURCE_KIND` | `""` | Kind of the Kubernetes resource you want to filter vulnerabilities for. For example, `deployment`. | + +### Override the cluster image scanning template + +If you want to override the job definition (for example, to change properties like `variables`), you +must declare and override a job after the template inclusion, and then +specify any additional keys. + +This example sets `CIS_RESOURCE_NAME` to `nginx`: + +```yaml +include: + - template: Security/Cluster-Image-Scanning.gitlab-ci.yml + +cluster_image_scanning: + variables: + CIS_RESOURCE_NAME: nginx +``` + +### Connect with Kubernetes cluster associated to the project + +If you want to connect to the Kubernetes cluster associated with the project and run Cluster Image Scanning jobs without +configuring the `CIS_KUBECONFIG` variable, you must extend `cluster_image_scanning` and specify the environment you want to scan. + +This example configures the `cluster_image_scanning` job to scan the Kubernetes cluster connected with the `staging` environment: + +```yaml +cluster_image_scanning: + environment: + name: staging + action: prepare +``` + +## Reports JSON format + +The cluster image scanning tool emits a JSON report file.
