How do I generate and store SBOMs for Node affinity artifacts?

Generating and storing Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs) for Node affinity artifacts is essential for ensuring transparency and compliance in software development. An SBOM provides a detailed inventory of all components used within an application, helping organizations identify vulnerabilities, manage licenses, and maintain security standards.

Step-by-Step Process

Follow these steps to generate and store SBOMs for Node affinity artifacts:

  1. Install necessary tools such as Syft for generating SBOMs.
  2. Use a command to generate the SBOM for your Node.js application:
  3. syft packages dir:. --output json > sbom.json
  4. Store the generated SBOM in a secure location, such as a dedicated SBOM repository or cloud storage.
  5. Automate the process using CI/CD pipelines to ensure SBOMs are generated for every release.
