Docker will soon be rolling out a new feature, called Docker Scout, that makes it really easy to scan your local images for vulnerabilities as well as understanding application dependencies.

Let me show you how easy it is to scan an image for vulnerabilities with this new feature.

Once the image has pulled, click Docker Scout in the left navigation, and then, select the Rocky Linux image from the dropdown.

Click Analyze Image, and Scout will begin the process of scanning the image; the time for the scan will depend on the size of the image.

Based on the information obtained through Docker Scout, you can then decide to either continue using an image, mitigate any issues contained in an image, or scrap the pulled image in favor of one with fewer or no vulnerabilities.

That's all there is to scanning container images for vulnerabilities with the new Docker Scout feature.
