CI/CD Integration Architecture

This section provides detailed information about the CI/CD integration architecture for the Kubernetes CINC Secure Scanner.

Directory Contents

For a complete listing of all files in this section, see the Integrations Documentation Inventory.

Integration Overview

The scanning system is designed to integrate seamlessly with various CI/CD platforms and external systems:

  1. GitHub Actions Integration - For GitHub-based workflows
  2. GitLab CI Integration - For GitLab-based pipelines
  3. GitLab Services Integration - For GitLab with service containers
  4. Custom Integration - For other CI/CD platforms

Integration Architecture Patterns

While specific implementations differ, all integrations follow these general patterns:

  1. Environment Setup: Configure the scanning environment
  2. Security Configuration: Establish secure access to the Kubernetes cluster
  3. Scanning Execution: Execute the appropriate scanner
  4. Results Processing: Process and validate scan results
  5. Pipeline Integration: Integrate results into the CI/CD workflow
