image-inspector-client-ruby is a Ruby client library for the image-inspector tool, enabling programmatic interaction with container image inspection services.
The tool solves the problem of analyzing container images for security vulnerabilities, compliance issues, and policy violations by providing a Ruby interface to image-inspector's inspection capabilities. Rather than invoking image-inspector directly or parsing its output manually, developers can integrate image inspection into Ruby applications through a dedicated client library that handles the communication and data marshalling.
Teams building Ruby-based container security workflows, CI/CD pipelines, or OpenShift-integrated tooling should consider this client. It suits projects that need to inspect Docker images as part of automated processes, security scanning, or compliance checking. The library is installable as a gem, making it straightforward to add to existing Ruby projects.
The project maintains a minimal but functional codebase with test coverage and style checking as part of its build process. Development activity centers on keeping the client aligned with image-inspector's API surface and ensuring code quality through automated testing.
