Aqua Security vs Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines

Aqua Security provides hybrid security software for development workflows, cloud workloads, containers, and Kubernetes environments. Dev Security includes code-repository discovery and scanning, container-image vulnerability and risk scanning, Dynamic Threat Analysis, Infrastructure-as-Code scanning, and SBOM generation and analysis. Its pricing is based on the number of code repositories. Cloud Security covers cloud and Kubernetes workload visibility, agentless workload scanning, real-time runtime protection, drift prevention, and compliance reporting; pricing depends on workload counts such as EC2 instances, Fargate containers, and Lambda functions. The Platform plan adds end-to-end SDLC visibility, risk prioritization, contextualized risk scoring, compliance and custom reporting, and role-based access control. Listed capabilities include runtime protection, Kubernetes security, image and registry scanning, admission control, and SBOM generation. Aqua Security was founded in 2015 and lists headquarters in Boston and Ramat Gan. Pricing is available on request and there is no free plan.

Red Hat OpenShift Pipelines automates application delivery on Red Hat OpenShift using a cloud-native CI/CD system built on Tekton. Pipelines are defined with Kubernetes resources and standard Tekton custom resource definitions, supporting portable pipeline definitions. Runs execute with their dependencies in isolated containers and can scale on demand, a fit for decentralized teams working with microservice-based architectures. The OpenShift Developer console can create Tekton resources, show run logs and manage pipelines in namespaces. Documented image-building tools include Source-to-Image, Buildah, Buildpacks and Kaniko. Red Hat lists integrations with Tekton Pipelines, Tekton Triggers, Tekton Chains, Tekton Results and OpenShift GitOps. Pipelines as Code supports versioned, auditable workflows aligned with GitOps practices. Red Hat describes hardened security and a Trusted Supply Chain framework intended to help ensure integrity and conform with SLSA levels. The product is available with a Red Hat OpenShift subscription and included in OpenShift Container Platform. The documented CI/CD system runs on OpenShift Container Platform. Pricing is on request; the Developer Sandbox offers a 30-day trial.
