Hi all,

I have some questions about vulnerability assessment of ACR and AKS.

In brief:

  • in the "Defender for containers" plan details I get the information that it provides e.g.:
    • Vulnerability assessment for images stored in ACR registries
      • Vulnerability assessment for images running in Azure Kubernetes Service

User's image

  • in detailed setting of the Defender for containers I see only option
    • "Container registries vulnerability assessments (preview)"
          - option only in preview (no production)
      
                - no option to enable VA on AKS
      
                                  ![User's image](/api/attachments/4829c6c4-9645-43e2-8147-ead423bbd419?platform=QnA)
      
  • in the documentation "Scan your Azure Container Registry images for vulnerabilities" (link) I'm no getting any infomrmation that this option is in preview

and now I stuck a little ... what is true and what is not :-)

Questions:

  • VA for Kubernets
    • how can I enabled VA for Azure Kubenetes ? Do I need only enable "Defender for containers plan" on them main page ? (because in the "Settings & monitoring" tab I don't see such of option)
      • where will I see the vulnerabilities ? (Defender for cloud -> Recommendations?)
        • how is it charged (it is included in this pricing $7/VM core/Month or I have to pay extra) ?
  • VA for ACR
    • does this option is in preview (according to my above screen) or not (according to the following (link) ?
      • where will I see the potential vulnerabilities (Defender for cloud -> Recommendations?)
        • how is it charged (is it included in this pricing $7/VM core/Month or I have to pay extra) ?

I will be gratefull for your help.

Thank you in advance

Bartek
