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.
