Quick Start Guide

This guide will help you get up and running with secure Kubernetes container scanning quickly.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have:

  • Kubernetes cluster (version 1.24+)
  • kubectl installed and configured
  • CINC Auditor with train-k8s-container plugin
  • Helm (optional, for chart deployment)
  • MITRE SAF CLI (optional, for threshold validation)

Quick Setup (Automated)

For the fastest possible setup, use our automated script:

# Basic setup with a 3-node minikube cluster
./kubernetes-scripts/setup-minikube.sh

# For distroless container scanning support
./kubernetes-scripts/setup-minikube.sh --with-distroless

# For a customized setup
./kubernetes-scripts/setup-minikube.sh --nodes=2 --driver=virtualbox

The script will:

  1. Create a multi-node minikube cluster
  2. Deploy the necessary RBAC and service accounts
  3. Set up test pods
  4. Generate a kubeconfig file
  5. Provide instructions for running scans
