Trivy Operator

Purpose: Trivy Operator continuously scans Kubernetes clusters for security issues and makes reports accessible through the Kubernetes API.
Automatic scans: It watches Kubernetes state changes and triggers scans when resources change, such as when a Pod is created.
Vulnerability scanning: It automatically scans Kubernetes workloads for vulnerabilities.
Configuration audits: It audits Kubernetes resource configuration using predefined rules or custom Open Policy Agent policies.
Other scans: It can generate reports for exposed secrets, RBAC assessments, Kubernetes infrastructure assessments, and deprecated API use.
Compliance: It produces compliance reports for Kubernetes hardening guidance, the CIS Kubernetes Benchmark, and Pod Security Standards profiles.
SBOM: It generates Software Bill of Materials reports for Kubernetes workloads.
Report lifecycle: It uses Kubernetes garbage collection to delete stale reports, and deleting an owned vulnerability report can trigger a rescan.
Integrations: Official documentation describes metrics, Lens extension, webhook, and Policy Reporter integrations.
Metrics: The operator exposes a /metrics endpoint by default with metrics for vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, RBAC assessments, and configuration audits.
Installation: It can be installed through Helm, kubectl manifests, or Operator Lifecycle Manager; Helm is recommended for tracking custom configuration.
User interface: The Helm chart documentation states that Trivy Operator does not have a user interface and exposes a metrics endpoint for Prometheus to scrape.
Project status: The project documentation says the project is incubating and some APIs and custom resource definitions may change.
Support and community: The project invites users to discuss matters in GitHub Discussions or Slack and links to contribution guidance.
