Abstract

A request to update a software container image within a container registry hosted by a computing resource service provider is received from an entity associated with a customer account with the computing resource service provider, where the container registry is a scalable distributed data storage service. The software container image is stored in the container registry in association with the customer account. A layer of the software container image stored in the container registry is scanned for a reference identifier associated with a security vulnerability as a result of said scan finding the reference identifier within the software container image, notice is provided to the entity indicating that the security vulnerability was found. Software within the software container image is updated based at least in part on the vulnerability scan; and the update software is deployed.
