Inline Image Scanning for AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild

The blog post details how to implement image vulnerability scanning in AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild using the Sysdig Platform to enhance security in DevOps workflows. It explains the integration of AWS tools like CodeCommit, CodeBuild, CodeDeploy, and CodePipeline, emphasizing the role of CodePipeline in automating and visualizing the stages of development. The process involves analyzing Dockerfile and image metadata for security vulnerabilities, using Sysdig's local scanning to maintain image control, and sending the scan results to Sysdig Secure for further analysis. The post describes setting up the infrastructure with Terraform and using a buildspec.yml file to automate the image build and scan process, ensuring any issues are detected and resolved early in the CI/CD pipeline. It also highlights the importance of using credential management through AWS Parameter Store to secure sensitive data and concludes by underscoring the benefits of early detection in improving security and delivery confidence in production environments.
