Alibaba Cloud Container Registry

Configure Prisma Cloud to scan your Alibaba Cloud Container Registry. First, create a service account, and then specify the scan parameters.

Create a Service Account

Create a service account so Prisma Cloud can access your registry. Prisma Cloud needs the AliyunContainerRegistryReadOnly permission policy to query, download, and scan the images in your registry.

1. In Alibaba Cloud, create a RAM account.

   Go to RAM > Users, and click Create User.

   
2. Select Add Permissions.

   
3. Search for registry, and then select AliyunContainerRegistryReadOnly.

Configure an Alibaba Cloud Container Registry Scan

To scan a repository in Alibaba Cloud Container Registry, create a new registry scan setting.

Prerequisites:

• Install a Defender somewhere in your environment.
• Create an Alibaba Cloud Container Registry.
• You have the service account credentials.

1. Open Console, and go to Defend > Vulnerabilities > Images > Registry settings.
2. Select Add registry.
3. In Add New Registry Setting Specification, enter the following values:

   1. In Version, select Docker Registry v2.
   2. In Registry, enter the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) for the registry. For example, registry-intl.cn-hangzhou.aliyuncs.com.
   3. In Repository, enter the name of the repository to scan. Example: library/alpine.
   4. In Tag, enter an image tag. Leave this field blank to scan all images, regardless of their tag.
   5. In Credential, configure how Prisma Cloud authenticates with Alibaba Cloud Container Registry.

      Select a credential from the drop-down list. If there are no credentials in the list, click Add new, and create a Basic authentication credential with the service account username and password.
   6. In OS type, specify whether the repo holds Linux or Windows images.
   7. In Scanners scope, specify the collections of defenders to use for the scan.

      Console selects the available Defenders from the scope to execute the scan job according to the Number of scanners setting. For more information, see deployment patterns.
   8. In Number of scanners, enter the number of Defenders across which scan jobs can be distributed.
   9. In Cap, limit the number of images to scan.

      Set Cap to 5 to scan the five most recent images, or enter another value to increase or decrease the limit. Set Cap to 0 to scan all images.
4. Select Add and scan.

   Verify that the images in the repository are being scanned under Monitor > Vulnerabilities > Images > Registries.
