How To Register a Container Registry

Background

RealTheory can scan public images used in your Kubernetes cluster deployments for vulnerabilities; however, if you have container registries that host private images used in your Kubernetes cluster deployments, you must register the registry credentials with RealTheory before vulnerability scanning can occur.

Solution

1. As a user with one of the following roles, navigate to Settings > Security > Container Vulnerability Scanning:

   • sys_admin
   • container_registry_admin

2. Click Add container registry.

   The Add container registry modal will open.

3. In Name, type a user-friendly, descriptive name for the registry.

4. In URL, type the address of a repository that hosts private container images you want RealTheory to scan.

5. In Username, type the username used to authenticate with the container registry.

6. In Secret, type the secret used to authenticate with the container registry.

7. Click (Show/hide this secret) to view the Secret.

8. Click Add container registry.

   RealTheory can now scan private images hosted in each specified registry for vulnerabilities.
