Static Analysis of a Dockerfile
The manifest is the last place to fix a workload's security and the Dockerfile is nearly the first. This guide scans one that looks perfectly ordinary, finds five problems, and shows how three of them are the base-image argument in a different form.

Written against the versions above. `trivy config` scans Dockerfiles with `DS-` rules alongside the `KSV-` rules it applies to manifests, so one binary covers both artefacts.
