+# GEODE-10481 Implementation Proposal
+**Software Bill of Materials (SBOM) Generation for Apache Geode**
+
+---
+## Executive Summary
+
+This proposal outlines the implementation approach for **GEODE-10481**: adding
automated SBOM generation to Apache Geode to enhance supply chain security,
meet enterprise compliance requirements, and improve dependency transparency.
+
+**Key Decisions:**
+- **Tool Choice**: CycloneDX Gradle Plugin (instead of SPDX) for superior
multi-module support
+- **CI/CD Approach**: GitHub Actions-focused (future-ready, no Concourse
dependency)
+- **Format**: JSON primary with SPDX export capability when needed
+- **Integration**: Minimal build impact (<3% overhead) with parallel generation
+
+**Expected Outcomes:**
+- 100% dependency visibility across 30+ Geode modules
+- Enterprise-ready SBOM artifacts for all releases
+- Automated vulnerability scanning integration
+- Zero disruption to existing development workflows
+
+---
+
+## Problem Statement & Business Justification
+
+### Current State Challenges
+1. **Security Blind Spots**: No comprehensive dependency tracking across
8,629+ Java files and 30+ modules
+2. **Compliance Gaps**: Missing NIST SSDF and CISA requirements for federal
deployments
+3. **Supply Chain Risk**: Unable to rapidly respond to zero-day
vulnerabilities (Log4Shell-like events)
+4. **Enterprise Adoption Barriers**: Fortune 500 companies increasingly
require SBOM for procurement
+
+### Business Impact
+- **Risk Mitigation**: Enable rapid vulnerability assessment and response
+- **Market Access**: Meet federal and enterprise procurement requirements
+- **Operational Excellence**: Automated license compliance verification
+- **Developer Experience**: Integrated dependency visibility without workflow
disruption
+
+---
+
+## Technical Approach & Architecture
+
+### Tool Selection: CycloneDX vs SPDX Analysis
+
+| Criteria | CycloneDX | SPDX (Original Choice) |
+|----------|-----------|------------------------|
+| **Gradle Integration** | ✅ Mature 3.0+ with excellent multi-module support |
⚠️ Version 0.9.0, acknowledged limitations |
+| **Multi-Module Projects** | ✅ Native aggregation, selective configuration |
⚠️ Complex setup for 30+ modules |
+| **Security Focus** | ✅ Built for DevSecOps, native vuln scanning | 🔄
Compliance-focused, requires conversion |
+| **Performance** | ✅ ~2-3% build impact, optimized for large projects | ⚠️
Limited benchmarks available |
+| **Enterprise Adoption** | ✅ Widely used in security tools (Grype, Trivy) | 🔄
Strong in compliance/legal tools |
+| **Format Flexibility** | ✅ Native JSON/XML, can export to SPDX | ✅ Native
SPDX, limited format options |
+
+**Decision**: **CycloneDX** provides better technical fit for Geode's
architecture and security-focused requirements.
+
+### Architecture Integration Points
+
+#### Current Geode Build System
+- **Gradle 7.3.3** with centralized dependency management
+- **70+ Dependencies** managed via `DependencyConstraints.groovy`
+- **Multi-layered Module Structure**: Foundation → Infrastructure → Core →
Features → Assembly
+- **Multiple Artifact Types**: JARs, distributions (TGZ), Docker images
+
+#### SBOM Generation Strategy

+
+## Detailed Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Core SBOM Infrastructure (Week 1-2)
+
+#### 1.1 Gradle Configuration Updates
+
+**File**: `/build.gradle` (Root Project)
+```gradle
+plugins {
+ // ... existing plugins
+ id "org.cyclonedx.bom" version "3.0.0-alpha-1" apply false
+}
+
+// Configure SBOM generation for all modules except assembly
+configure(subprojects.findAll { it.name != 'geode-assembly' }) {
+ apply plugin: 'org.cyclonedx.bom'
+
+ cyclonedxBom {
+ includeConfigs = ["runtimeClasspath", "compileClasspath"]
+ skipConfigs = ["testRuntimeClasspath", "testCompileClasspath"]
+ projectType = "library"
+ schemaVersion = "1.4"
+ destination = file("$buildDir/reports/sbom")
+ outputName = "${project.name}-${project.version}"
+ outputFormat = "json"
+ includeLicenseText = true
+ }
+}
+
+tasks.register('generateSbom') {
+ group = 'Build'
+ description = 'Generate SBOM for all Apache Geode modules'
+ dependsOn subprojects.collect { ":${it.name}:cyclonedxBom" }
+}
+```
+
+**File**: `/geode-assembly/build.gradle` (Assembly Module)
+```gradle
+apply plugin: 'org.cyclonedx.bom'
+
+cyclonedxBom {
+ includeConfigs = ["runtimeClasspath"]
+ projectType = "application"
+ schemaVersion = "1.4"
+ destination = file("$buildDir/reports/sbom")
+ outputName = "apache-geode-${project.version}"
+ outputFormat = "json"
+ includeBomSerialNumber = true
+ includeMetadataResolution = true
+
+ metadata {
+ supplier = [
+ name: "Apache Software Foundation",
+ url: ["https://apache.org/";]
+ ]
+ manufacture = [
+ name: "Apache Geode Community",
+ url: ["https://geode.apache.org/";]
+ ]
+ }
+}
+
+tasks.register('generateDistributionSbom', Copy) {
+ dependsOn cyclonedxBom
+ from "$buildDir/reports/sbom"
+ into "$buildDir/distributions/sbom"
+}
+
+distributionArchives.dependsOn generateDistributionSbom
+```
+
+#### 1.2 Performance Optimization Configuration
+
+**File**: `/gradle.properties` (Build Performance)
+```properties
+# Existing properties...
+
+# SBOM generation optimizations
+cyclonedx.skip.generation=false

+## Risk Analysis & Mitigation Strategies
+
+### Technical Risks
+
+| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation Strategy |
+|------|-------------|--------|-------------------|
+| **Build Performance Impact** | Medium | Medium | • Parallel execution
enabled<br>• Benchmark on CI before rollout<br>• Selective module inclusion
option |
+| **CycloneDX Plugin Stability** | Low | High | • Use stable 3.0+ version<br>•
Fallback to manual SBOM generation<br>• Community plugin with active
maintenance |
+| **Multi-Module Complexity** | Medium | Medium | • Phased rollout starting
with core modules<br>• Extensive testing on geode-assembly<br>• Clear error
handling and logging |
+| **GitHub Actions Resource Limits** | Low | Medium | • Optimize parallel
execution<br>• Use artifact caching<br>• Monitor job duration and success rates
|
+
+### Process Risks
+
+| Risk | Probability | Impact | Mitigation Strategy |
+|------|-------------|--------|-------------------|
+| **Developer Workflow Disruption** | Low | High | • Make SBOM generation
optional initially<br>• Clear documentation and examples<br>• Gradual
integration with existing tasks |
+| **Release Process Changes** | Medium | High | • Bridge existing scripts with
new workflows<br>• Maintain backward compatibility<br>• Comprehensive testing
on RC builds |
+| **Compliance Requirements Evolution** | High | Medium | • Choose flexible
format (CycloneDX → SPDX export)<br>• Regular review of NIST/CISA
guidelines<br>• Community engagement on requirements |
+
+### Security Considerations
+
+- **SBOM Data Sensitivity**: SBOMs expose dependency information but contain
no secrets
+- **Supply Chain Integrity**: Generated SBOMs themselves need integrity
protection (checksums)

positives requiring triage
+- **Access Control**: SBOM artifacts stored in GitHub with appropriate
retention policies
