Use Cases
- When a container scanning json item is created in a job, Sam wants it to be available for download from the job AND available for static scanning.
Proposal
Update the artifacts: path: keyword such that the container scanning report is available for download AND to the rails backend for viewing in the pipeline view.
We would need gitlab-ce~2024184 engineer's help, because we have someplace to download artifacts belong to a job.
e.g.
Permissions and Security
Documentation
Testing
What does success look like, and how can we measure that?
- Sam can still download a container scanning report AND have it accessible within the job view without double storage of the report.
- Documentation is clear on how to setup the
artifacts:keyword to make this happen
What is the type of buyer?
The likely buyer here is one already using container scanning available for Ultimate/Gold customers.
