Docker Scout: Your Guide to Safer and Smarter Containers!

What is Docker Scout?

Docker Scout is like a helper that checks your Docker images for problems, like security risks or outdated parts, and gives suggestions to fix them. It’s a simple way to keep your containers safe and up-to-date!

How to use Docker Scout?

Steps to Use Docker Scout:

1. Log in to Docker Desktop:

2. Pull one of your image which is publicly available on DockerHub.

3. Now we will analyze the image using Docker Scout and find the issues into the image:

docker scout quickview chetan0103/springboot-bankapp

#Instead of "chetan0103" use your docker_username and "springboot-bankapp" use image name

You can see it shows many issues with the image:

To obtain a detailed vulnerability report, execute the following command:

docker scout cves chetan0103/springboot-bankapp

This is how we can use Docker Scout to make our containers safer in just a few minutes.
