This article provides a complete guide to GitLab's five container scanning approaches for detecting vulnerabilities throughout the container lifecycle.
•Pipeline-based Container Scanning uses the Trivy scanner in CI/CD pipelines, supporting configuration of CS_IMAGE and CS_SEVERITY_THRESHOLD variables to filter scan targets and severity
•Container Scanning for Registry automatically triggers scans when images tagged 'latest' are pushed to the GitLab Container Registry, available in Ultimate tier only
•Multi-Container Scanning uses dynamic child pipelines to scan multiple images in parallel, reducing pipeline execution time for microservices architectures
•Continuous Vulnerability Scanning monitors the GitLab Advisory Database and automatically creates vulnerability records when new CVEs affect registered components, without requiring a pipeline run
•Operational Container Scanning uses the GitLab Agent for Kubernetes to scan containers running in clusters on a scheduled cadence, co
