This article demonstrates how to build a DevSecOps pipeline that automatically scans container images for security vulnerabilities, secrets, and linting errors before deployment.
- Implements three open-source security tools: Hadolint, Trivy, and Trufflehog running in parallel
- Hadolint lints Dockerfiles and enforces trusted registry policies
- Trufflehog scans Git repositories for accidentally committed secrets
- Trivy performs vulnerability scanning with configurable severity thresholds
- Failed security checks block image deployment to Amazon ECR
- Audit-level vulnerabilities logged to AWS Security Hub for compliance tracking
- Pipeline uses AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild, CodeCommit, and Fargate
- Includes complete CloudFormation templates and step-by-step implementation guide
This solution enables organizations to enforce consistent security standards across container images by shifting security checks left into the CI/CD pipeline, preventing vulnerable images from reaching production.
