Trivy and Tracee, Aqua Security Tools

41 minutes

🙌 My next course is coming soon! I've opened the waitlist for those wanting to go deep in GitHub Actions for DevOps and AI automation in 2025. I'm so thrilled to announce this course. The waitlist allows you to quickly sign up for some content updates, discounts, and more as I finish building the course.

Bret is joined by Anaïs Urlichs of Aqua Security to talk container and Kubernetes security tools like trivy, kube-bench, tracee, and kube-hunter. I've been using trivy for over four years to scan for known vulnerabilities in my own container images and my clients.

We also look at tracee, a new tool that is part of a new generation of tools that use the Linux kernel eBPF feature to investigate what's happening in real time on your servers. Anaïs is great as an explainer of Kubernetes and all cloud native things, and she's the creator of the 100 days of Kubernetes tutorials on her YouTube channel where she breaks down various cloud native topics for beginners. Based on what I've learned in this show from Anaïs, I plan to change how I use trivy so that it's scanning more things and more often in my CI automation pipelines.

Streamed live on YouTube on November 3, 2022.
