kubectl

The Kubernetes Yaml Deployment files are available on GitHub in https://github.com/aquasecurity/trivy-operator under /deploy/static.

Example - Deploy from GitHub

This will install the operator in the trivy-system namespace and configure it to scan all namespaces, except kube-system and trivy-system:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/trivy-operator/v0.23.0/deploy/static/trivy-operator.yaml

To confirm that the Operator is running, check that the trivy-operator Deployment in the trivy-system namespace is available and all its containers are ready:

$ kubectl get deployment -n trivy-system
NAME                 READY   UP-TO-DATE   AVAILABLE   AGE
trivy-operator   1/1     1            1           11m

If for some reason it's not ready yet, check the logs of the trivy-operator Deployment for errors:

kubectl logs deployment/trivy-operator -n trivy-system

Advanced Configuration

You can configure Trivy-Operator to control it's behavior and adapt it to your needs. Aspects of the operator machinery are configured using environment variables on the operator Pod, while aspects of the scanning behavior are controlled by ConfigMaps and Secrets. To learn more, please refer to the Configuration documentation.

Uninstall

Danger

Uninstalling the operator and deleting custom resource definitions will also delete all generated security reports.

You can uninstall the operator with the following command:

kubectl delete -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aquasecurity/trivy-operator/v0.23.0/deploy/static/trivy-operator.yaml
