Chapter 1. Benefits


  • Enhanced security visibility: You can easily scan local images to view in-depth details about security vulnerabilities.
  • Actionable alternatives: Instead of just reporting issues, the extension provides a dedicated page displaying hardened image alternatives from the Hummingbird catalog.
  • Simplified migrations: A dedicated clone form makes it simple to clone an existing container with a new, secure Hummingbird image. The extension also clones the container configuration and applies it to the new base image.
  • Flexible and resilient: The extension supports multiple providers and handles workflows correctly even if the Grype extension is not installed.
