51. #EveryoneCanContribute Cafe: First look: Chainguard Enforce with Carlos Panato
Carlos Panato started with a short introduction into Software Supply Chain Security and which problem Chainguard aims to solve. The demo follows a great story line on deploying a container image with GitLab CI/CD, verify the image manually, showing Chainguard on the CLI to pull image policies, create custom policies, observe and enforce, sign using cosign inside CI/CD. The following discussion touched topic such as SBOM, key signing, and also cluster runtime security with eBPF.
