Anchore Engine is an open source software system that provides a centralized service for analyzing container images, scanning for security vulnerabilities, and enforcing deployment policies. Anchore Engine is provided as a Docker container image that can be run standalone or with an orchestration platform such as Kubernetes. Anchore Engine allows users to perform detailed analysis on their container images, run queries, produce reports, and define policies that can be used in CI/CD pipelines. Users can extend Anchore Engine with plugins that add new queries, image analysis, and policies. Anchore Engine can be accessed directly through a RESTful API or via the Anchore CLI.
