What problem does it solve?
Manually managing container artifact lifecycles across Kubernetes, OpenShift, and multiple cloud container registries is time-consuming and error-prone, with high risk of deploying unvetted, vulnerable, or non-compliant images to production environments.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi-Platform Registry Operations: Manage images across OpenShift integrated registries, JFrog Artifactory, Harbor, Azure Container Registry, Amazon ECR, and generic OCI registries.
- Supply Chain Security Enforcement: Run vulnerability scans with Trivy and Grype, generate SBOMs with Syft, sign images with Cosign, and enforce promotion gates to block non-compliant artifacts from moving between environments.
- Artifact Lifecycle Automation: Automate cross-environment promotion (dev → staging → prod), implement retention policies to clean up unused images, and integrate with CI/CD pipelines for end-to-end supply chain workflows.
Use case: A DevOps team can use this skill to automatically scan newly built images for critical CVEs, generate and attach SBOMs, sign images for provenance, and promote approved artifacts to staging without manual registry operations.
Quick Start
Use the artifacts skill to scan the container image 'my-app:v1.0.0' for critical vulnerabilities, generate an SPDX-format SBOM, sign it with Cosign, and promote it from the dev to staging registry after receiving human approval.
