Pulumi Snyk Integration
A Pulumi policy pack that uses the Snyk CLI to scan Docker Image resources for vulnerabilities.
Overview
The Snyk container scanning integration for Pulumi is a policy pack that automatically scans Docker images for vulnerabilities during a Pulumi deployment. It works by invoking the Snyk CLI on `docker.Image` resources defined in a Pulumi program. This allows developers to find and fix vulnerabilities in their container images as part of the infrastructure-as-code lifecycle, preventing insecure images from being pushed to registries or deployed.
✨ Key Features
- Scans Docker images for vulnerabilities
- Integrates with Snyk CLI
- Executes during `pulumi preview` and `pulumi up`
- Configurable enforcement level (advisory or mandatory)
- Can scan Dockerfiles for best practice violations
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Deep integration with the Pulumi IaC workflow
- Leverages Snyk's comprehensive vulnerability database
- Combines IaC and application security scanning
Unique Value: Shift container security left by automatically scanning Docker images for vulnerabilities during infrastructure deployment with Pulumi.
🎯 Use Cases (3)
✅ Best For
- Blocking a `pulumi up` command if the Docker image being built contains critical vulnerabilities.
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Scanning infrastructure for misconfigurations (this is for container images)
- Users not using Snyk for vulnerability management
🏆 Alternatives
Instead of scanning images in a separate CI step after they are built, this integration scans them as part of the infrastructure definition and deployment, providing earlier feedback.
