Working with clusters

Kaspersky Container Security provides a tool for displaying and analyzing the connections between various resources within namespaces in clusters.

A cluster is a set of nodes that run applications placed in containers.

By using clusters, you can perform bulk scans of images within those clusters. When doing so, the registries found in a cluster during a scan are automatically created. Kaspersky Container Security automatically reads and records the identification data used for accessing registries in a cluster (user name, password, token), and generates a link to this object. Registries are also assigned a name in the following format: <cluster name>_<registry name>. When working with cluster objects, the received identification data is used to access the registries.

The Inventory → Assets → Clusters section displays a table of clusters where Kaspersky Container Security Agents are installed. This table indicates the number of namespaces and orchestrators included in each cluster.

Cluster resources can be scanned and visually represented only if deployed Agents are available.
