Snyk Service Broker

This documentation describes the Snyk Service Broker for Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF). The Snyk Service Broker for PCF enables developers to scan their droplets for known vulnerabilities in open source components. In addition, the Snyk Service Broker for PCF allows you to continuously monitor droplets for new vulnerabilities as well as preventing the deployment of vulnerable droplets.

Overview

The Snyk Service Broker for PCF registers a service broker with PCF and exposes its service plans on the Marketplace. Developers can then create service plan instances using Apps Manager or the Cloud Foundry Command Line Interface (cf CLI) and bind them to their apps.

Creating a Snyk Service Broker for PCF service instance and binding it to an app will trigger Snyk to run scans on your app dependencies as part of the buildpack. Using environment variables, you can decide whether to continuously monitor your app, reject a vulnerable droplet, or patch the vulnerabilities inside your app.
