By integrating JFrog Artifactory with Portshift, DevOps engineers can achieve enhanced visibility and control over their CI/CD artifacts from Artifactory's Docker repository during runtime, thereby bridging the gap between the CI/CD pipeline and the container runtime environment. This integration facilitates compliance by allowing engineers to prove and track artifact deployment, aids in managing artifact repositories by identifying unused artifacts, and provides real-time visibility of Docker images running in production. Portshift, as an identity-based workload protection platform, generates signed identities for applications during CI/CD and extends Artifactory's key information to runtime, creating a detailed runtime map of application containers across cloud infrastructures. Additionally, Portshift reports runtime execution details back to Artifactory, providing comprehensive insights into each Docker image's usage, which simplifies the identification of unused images and streamlines decision-making processes. The integration supports all types of Kubernetes clusters and enhances both the efficiency and security of DevOps operations by ensuring that only authorized artifacts are running in the cloud environment.
