Container Registry & Scanning (Docker, Trivy, Kubernetes, Go, Snyk) overview

A container image lifecycle platform centered on building, scanning, and distributing OCI images. Docker builds multi-stage images while Trivy and Snyk perform vulnerability scanning at both build-time and runtime. Kubernetes admission controllers reject images that fail policy checks before pods are scheduled. Custom Go tooling integrates with CI pipelines to generate SBOMs and enforce base-image freshness policies. Ideal for security-conscious organizations that need full supply-chain visibility from Dockerfile to production pod. The tradeoff is scan latency in CI and the operational burden of maintaining allowlists for known CVEs.
