Want to learn how to find vulnerabilities in docker images? How about preventing these vulnerabilities in the first place? If so, you're in the right place! In this course you will learn Container Infrastructure Analysis with Trivy.

In this course, we will focus on automating docker image security scans:

Trivy is an easy-to-use and comprehensive and open source vulnerability scanner for container images.

In this course you will learn how to use Trivy and Github Actions to scan and audit container images for vulnerabilities.

A container image is an unchangeable, static file that includes executable code so it can run an isolated process on information technology infrastructure.

Docker images are used to execute code in a Docker container. Docker images act as a set of instructions to build a Docker container, similar to a template.

GitHub Actions is a software tool that automates, customizes, and executes your software development workflows right in your repository.
