Image inventory --------------- Key: VCL-561 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-561 Project: VCL Issue Type: New Feature Components: database, vcld (backend), web gui (frontend) Affects Versions: 2.2.1 Reporter: Andy Kurth Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.4
It would be useful to automatically retrieve information from image revisions and store this information in the database. Some examples of information which would be valuable: -List of all the applications installed -Patches installed -Whether or not the firewall is enabled -Firewall port exceptions -Users stored in the image This information would be valuable in many ways: -Users could specify which application they want to use on the website and a list of images with that application could be displayed. -Licensing -- if you need to know which images contain a specific application in order to plan license purchases or ensure compliance. -Security -- Suppose your base image had an extra user account with a weak password. You could identify any images/revisions created from it and secure them. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
