How can container image scanning be automated in CI/CD?

Container image scanning can be automated in CI/CD by integrating security scanning tools like Trivy, Aqua, or Anchore directly into the build pipeline. These tools automatically scan Docker images for vulnerabilities before deployment, ensuring only secure images reach production. In Azure DevOps pipelines, you can add a scanning stage using extensions or scripts that run after the build phase. This helps identify outdated packages, CVEs, and misconfigurations early. With proper configuration and alerts, teams can maintain compliance and security continuously. Learning these integrations through Azure DevOps Training enhances automation, governance, and overall DevSecOps efficiency.
