Build Level 3
Tamper-evident proof of how and from what sources this image was built. Build Level 3 is the highest the SLSA build track defines.
CycloneDX SBOM + SPDX SBOM
A software bill of materials in both CycloneDX and SPDX formats so it drops straight into your existing tooling. Audit exactly what you're shipping.
A Vulnerability Exploitability exchange document, Docker's assessment of which CVEs actually affect this image and which don't apply, so you can focus on real risk instead of chasing false positives.
Available
A link to everything used to build the image, package source code, Git repos, and build files, so you can audit or reproduce the build and stay compliant with open source licenses.
Every known vulnerability in this image, shown in full rather than hidden. The VEX data flags which ones actually apply, so you can tell real exposure from noise before you ship.
Exactly what changed in this build, down to the package bumps and fixes behind the version you're pulling.
Verifies no keys, tokens, or credentials were accidentally baked into the image.
The image layers were scanned for known malware signatures before publishing.
About Istioctl
Istioctl is the lifecycle management tool for installing and configuring Istio deployments. It functions as a client-side CLI tool that translates high-level declarative Istio configurations into Kubernetes manifests, providing simplified installation and upgrade workflows without requiring in-cluster reconciliation.
Key responsibilities of Istioctl:
- Installation & Upgrade: Generates and applies Istio installation manifests using configuration profiles
- Configuration Translation: Converts high-level settings into low-level Kubernetes resource definitions
- Manifest Generation: Produces complete YAML manifests for review before applying to the cluster
- Component Configuration: Manages configuration of all Istio components including pilot, gateways, and optional add-ons
- istioctl Integration: Includes the istioctl command-line tool for mesh inspection, debugging, and cluster operations
- Automatic Validation: Validates Istio configurations and provides helpful error messages
- Profile Management: Offers multiple installation profiles (default, demo, minimal, etc.) as starting points for customization
The istioctl simplifies the initial Istio deployment and upgrade process by abstracting complexity and providing a declarative interface. It's designed to work seamlessly with Kubernetes tooling and CI/CD pipelines.
