Kubernetes Admission Controller Release Notes - Version 0.8.7

Kubernetes Admission Controller v0.8.7

Recommendations

• Make sure to use anchore-admission-controller helm chart v0.9.3 when deploying.

Improvements

• Various supporting packages have been updated in order to improve security.

Fixes

• Pods whose images are pinned by digest (for example, repo:tag@sha256:... or repo@sha256:...) are now admitted when the image has been analyzed and, in policy mode, passes policy evaluation. Previously, the controller could not find these images in Anchore Enterprise, so it denied the pods even when the image had been analyzed and passed policy.
