Announcing the Container Security APIs

Posted on July 31, 2023

---

Overview

APIs for Container Security are now available for integration into your environment and automation of repetitive tasks!

• Use the Image Scanning APIs to get information about when scans were performed, their source and risk summary as well as identify vulnerabilities in your environment.
• Use the Management APIs to manage hardening policies that combine predefined and user-defined policy rules that describe the target configuration of Kubernetes resources.

Requirements

• Container Security
• All API calls require an API key with appropriate permissions, see Authentication for details

APIs

There are two sets of APIs:

• Image Scanning APIs - use these to search and view results of image scans and vulnerability assessments
  • Account Analysis Overview API - provide summary metrics and visibility of trends over time of vulnerabilities in your environment.
  • Image Analysis Inventory API - Get lists of Clusters, Namespaces and Repositories that are part of the monitored container environment.
  • Scan Log API - Get historical information about when scans were preformed, their source and risk summary.
  • Vulnerabilities API - Search for vulnerabilities using the CVE to find affected clusters, images and workloads and get statistics about vulnerabilities in your environment.
• Management APIs
  • Management API - Define Kubernetes hardening policies which combine predefined and user-defined policy rules that describe the target configuration of Kubernetes resources.
