Scanning images from private registries in K8s cluster using Deepfactor

Deepfactor can deploy a scan pod in your K8s cluster which will scan container images used by pods launched in your K8s cluster. In order for this scan pod to access and scan container images, you will need to specify registry credentials as a K8s secret. The following table provides link to the appropriate guide for different registries.

Token expiration #

Some registries allow you to create tokens which you can use for authentication. If you are using a token with an expiration time, please note that, before the token expires, you will need to update the K8s secret passed to Deepfactor scan pod with the new token to ensure it can continue to pull and scan images from your private registry.
