# Container Image Scanner v2.4.0 Release Notes

## 🚨 Broadcom Bitnami Impact Assessment Tool

This tool helps organizations assess and respond to **Broadcom's removal of free access to Bitnami container images**.

## 🚀 What's New

### ✅ Major Improvements

1. **Broadcom Impact Analysis** - Correctly identifies which deployments will break vs. which are safe
2. **118+ Helm Charts** - Comprehensive Bitnami Helm chart detection and alternatives
3. **Breaking Change Assessment** - Distinguishes between `latest` (safe) vs pinned/semver (at risk)
4. **Migration Urgency** - Prioritizes critical migrations vs safe deployments

### 🔧 Technical Changes

#### Broadcom Impact Assessment
- **✅ SAFE**: `latest` tags - no breaking changes expected
- **🚨 CRITICAL**: Pinned versions (e.g., `mysql:8.0.35`) - will break when Broadcom removes free access
- **⚠️ HIGH**: Semver tags - at risk of breaking

#### Enhanced Detection
- **280+ Bitnami Images**: Universal detection across all registries
- **118+ Helm Charts**: Bitnami Helm chart detection and alternatives
- **Private Registry Support**: ECR, Harbor, Artifactory
- **Multi-Account Scanning**: AWS Organizations + specific accounts

#### Container Security Analysis
- **NEW**: Security context detection for production readiness
- **NEW**: Resource limits configuration assessment
- **REMOVED**: Irrelevant network topology analysis

### 📊 Impact Assessment Examples

```bash
📦 bitnami/mysql:8.0.35 (PINNED VERSION)
🚨 CRITICAL: Pinned version may break - Broadcom removing free Bitnami images
📋 MIGRATION REQUIRED: Switch to AWS managed service or upstream alternative
🥇 AWS Managed Service: Amazon RDS for MySQL

📦 bitnami/redis:latest (LATEST TAG)  
✅ GOOD: Using "latest" tag - no breaking changes expected from Broadcom transition
🥇 AWS Managed Service: Amazon ElastiCache for Redis
```

### 🔧 Commands Available

| Command | Purpose |
|---------|---------|
| `cis analyze --org-scan` | Scan AWS Organization for Broadcom impact |
| `cis migrate --input results.json` | Generate migration plan for at-risk deployments |
| `cis doctor` | System diagnostics and prerequisites check |
| `cis setup-roles --accounts 123456789012` | IAM setup helper for cross-account scanning |

### 📋 Migration Strategy (Broadcom Response)

2. **Upstream Images** (Secondary) - Official Docker Hub images  
3. **Partner Solutions** (Tertiary) - AWS Marketplace alternatives
4. **Bitnami Premium** (Last Resort) - Commercial support option
