Assess Risk in the Azure Container Registry (ACR)

This page provides an overview of how to use Mondoo to scan Azure Container Registry for vulnerabilities in your containers.

The Azure Container Registry allows you to store container images within Azure. To learn about the Azure registry, read Get Started Guide in the Azure documentation.

import Partial from "./_providers-note.mdx";

Prerequisite

cnspec uses the configuration from Azure CLI. Install the az command and log into Azure:

az login

Display all available registries:

$ az acr list --output table

NAME       RESOURCE GROUP    LOCATION    SKU       LOGIN SERVER
---------  ----------------  ----------  --------  --------------------
<acrName>  <resourceGroup>   eastus      Standard  <acrLoginServer>

List available container images:

$ az acr repository list --name <acrName> --output table

Result
-----------
centos
hello-world
ubuntu

Scan

Once you log in, cnspec can scan the registry:

# scan the complete registry
$ cnspec scan container registry <acrLoginServer>
