Introduction

Docker Scout provides near real-time, actionable insights to address cloud-native application security issues before they reach production. It is built into Docker Desktop, Docker Hub and the Docker CLI, analysing image contents into an SBOM and matching packages against vulnerability data.

Features

  1. Image analysis: SBOM and vulnerability matching.
  2. CLI: docker scout commands.
  3. Policy evaluation: Check images against policies.
  4. Base image recommendations: Suggests updates.
  5. Integrations: Docker Hub, registries and CI.

Pros

Cons

  1. Docker ecosystem: Best inside Docker tooling.
  2. Plan limits: Repository limits depend on Docker subscription.

docker scout cves myimage:latest

Pricing

Included with Docker subscriptions with plan-dependent limits; see Docker’s pricing page.

  1. Docker users wanting built-in image insights.
  2. Teams standardising on Docker Hub.
  3. Not a fit if you want a vendor-neutral scanner; use Trivy or Grype.

Conclusion

Docker Scout brings image supply-chain insights directly into Docker tools.
