This week’s selected open-source project of the week is a Kubernetes toolkit from Aqua Security called Starboard. Starboard integrates Kubernetes tools into the Kubernetes experience in order to provide a unified security experience.
“What if all the Kubernetes security tools spoke the same language that everyone knows and understands? Similar to the standardized and well-known Pod spec, we could come up with the schema for a vulnerability, a risk assessment check, a black- or white-listed vulnerability, or maybe even a scanner config. What if you could combine the results from different tools to give an easy-to-understand overview of current security status? This would allow security vendors to focus on what they do best, while others could consume the data in the homogeneous format,” Liz Rice, vice president of Open Source Engineering at Aqua Security wrote in a post.
