Validate container image signatures during deployment

If you use AWS Signer and want to verify signed container images at the time of deployment, you can use one of the following solutions:

  • Gatekeeper and Ratify – Use Gatekeeper as the admission controller and Ratify configured with an AWS Signer plugin as a web hook for validating signatures.

  • Kyverno – A Kubernetes policy engine configured with an AWS Signer plugin for validating signatures.

Note

Before verifying container image signatures, configure the Notation trust store and trust policy, as required by your selected admission controller.
