Overview

When you add the Custom Compliance Checks control to your Assurance Policy, you configure it with one or more custom compliance scripts. Each script checks the image being scanned for specific conditions, and returns a value of either 0 (pass) or 1 (fail). If any script fails, the Custom Compliance Checks control fails.


Aqua Bench is the only one script format supported and is applicable to Linux images only.


Prerequisite

To use Unix shell compliance scripts, the bash or sh shell must be available in the image on some path, and your scripts must reference that path in the shebang line.


File size limitation
