In sintesi

Aqua Security is a container security platform protecting Docker, Kubernetes, and serverless workloads. It scans images for vulnerabilities, enforces admission policies, detects runtime anomalies, and provides compliance reporting. Advanced practitioners design container security architectures, integrate Aqua into CI/CD pipelines, tune runtime policies, and respond to security incidents. Demand is extreme: every company with containers needs security. Senior container security engineers earn $140k-200k+.

Cos'è Aqua Security Containers

Aqua Security is a platform for securing containers across the software supply chain. It provides image scanning (identify vulnerabilities), runtime protection (detect anomalies), compliance reporting, and policy enforcement. Aqua operates at three stages: build (scan images in CI), push (prevent untrusted images from reaching registry), and runtime (monitor pod behavior and block suspicious activity).

❓ Domande frequenti

What does Aqua scan for in container images?
CVEs in base OS, application dependencies. Malware signatures. Misconfigurations (root user, exposed ports). License violations. Policy violations (unsigned images). Results feed into admission decisions.
How does Aqua enforce policy in Kubernetes?
Admission controller (webhook) intercepts pod creation. Checks against policy: vulnerable image? Privileged container? Runs image from untrusted registry? Blocks or allows based on policy.
What's the difference between image scanning and runtime protection?
Scanning: static analysis at build time, catches known CVEs. Runtime: behavioral monitoring, catches zero-days and misuse. Both needed.
Can Aqua prevent supply chain attacks?
Yes, via image signing (Notary, Cosign), registry scanning, and admission policy enforcement. If image is unsigned or from untrusted registry, block it.
What's the overhead of Aqua enforcement?
Admission controller adds 50-200ms latency per pod creation (cached responses faster). Enforcer agent: ~100MB memory, 2-5% CPU. Negligible for most workloads.
How do I integrate Aqua with GitLab/Jenkins CI/CD?
Aqua CLI in pipeline: scan image after build, before push to registry. Fail pipeline if CVE severity > threshold. Gate deploys by vulnerability.
Is Aqua required for PCI/HIPAA/SOC2 compliance?
Not required, but recommended. Compliance auditors often ask for container vulnerability scanning. Aqua provides audit reports proving due diligence.
