If you use AWS Signer and want to verify signed container images at the time of deployment, you can use one of the following solutions:

  • Gatekeeper and Ratify – Use Gatekeeper as the admission controller and Ratify configured with an AWS Signer plugin as a web hook for validating signatures.

  • Kyverno – A Kubernetes policy engine configured with an AWS Signer plugin for validating signatures.
