Securing Tekton pipelines in OpenShift with Sysdig

This blog post explores the integration of Sysdig Secure image scanning into Tekton pipelines within OpenShift environments, emphasizing the ease of reusing tasks across multiple pipelines to enhance security compliance. Tekton, a Kubernetes-native CI/CD framework, allows for the seamless reuse of tasks like image scanning, which can detect vulnerabilities and ensure adherence to security standards. The post details the creation and deployment of a reusable Sysdig Secure image scanning task, demonstrating its application in a pipeline that includes building, testing, scanning, and deploying microservices. OpenShift provides a robust platform for running these cloud-native pipelines, offering enhanced security features and a streamlined user experience. Additionally, the post guides readers through setting up OpenShift locally using Red Hat CodeReady Containers, deploying Tekton, and configuring a pipeline that incorporates security scans using Sysdig Secure, with the aim of maintaining regulatory compliance and improving the security posture of applications.
