Binary Authorization is a Google Cloud service that
provides software supply-chain security by enforcing a set of rules
(policy) on containers
deployed on a Google Cloud
supported container-based platform.
The service allows or blocks deployment of these containers based on that set of
rules.
Also, Binary Authorization provides continuous validation
to ensure that each deployed container continues to conform with policy.
There is no direct integration between Cloud Deploy and
Binary Authorization, but you can use them together to help secure your
software delivery process.
What Binary Authorization can do for your deployable images
At deploy time, Binary Authorization can use attestations
to determine that a process was completed earlier. Here are some examples of
what you can use Binary Authorization for:
Verify that a container image was built by a specific build system or
continuous integration pipeline.
Validate that a container image complies with vulnerability signing policy.
Verify that a container image passes criteria for promotion to the next target.
