Documentation Deployments, Pods, bom Command Help bom-helpYou must connect to the correct host.

1) Connect to the correct host

ssh cks000035

sudo -i

export KUBECONFIG=/etc/kubernetes/admin.conf

2) List the 3 container names + images in the Deployment

kubectl -n alpine get deploy alpine -o jsonpath='{range .spec.template.spec.containers[*]}{.name}{"\t"}{.image}{"\n"}{end}'

You’ll get 3 lines like:

c1 alpine:3.xx

c2 alpine:3.yy

c3 alpine:3.zz

3) Identify which alpine image has libcrypto3 at 3.1.4-r5

Fastest reliable method (since it’s Alpine, just query apk inside each image):

Run these one-by-one for each image you saw in step 2:

docker run --rm sh -c 'apk info -v libcrypto3 2>/dev/null | head -n1'

docker run --rm sh -c 'apk info -v libcrypto3 2>/dev/null | head -n1'

docker run --rm sh -c 'apk info -v libcrypto3 2>/dev/null | head -n1'

✅ The correct image is the one that prints exactly:

libcrypto3-3.1.4-r5

Note that full image tag, e.g.:

IMG=alpine:3.xx

4) Create SPDX document with bom for that identified image

(Use the identified image from step 3.)

bom generate --image $IMG --format spdx --output /home/candidate/alpine.spdx

Verify file exists:

ls -l /home/candidate/alpine.spdx

5) Remove ONLY the container that uses that image version

The manifest to edit is:

vi /home/candidate/alpine-deployment.yaml

In the spec.template.spec.containers: list, find the container entry whose image: equals the identified $IMG, and delete that one container block only (name/image/ports/etc for that container).

Save:

wq

6) Apply the updated Deployment (do not change other containers)

kubectl apply -f /home/candidate/alpine-deployment.yaml

Wait rollout:

kubectl -n alpine rollout status deployment/alpine

7) Verify only 2 containers remain

kubectl -n alpine get deploy alpine -o jsonpath='{range .spec.template.spec.containers[*]}{.name}{"\t"}{.image}{"\n"}{end}'

You should now see 2 lines, and the $IMG line should be gone.

If bom generate ... errors (quick fix)

Check exact syntax on that system:

bom --help

bom generate --help

Then rerun with the flags it expects, keeping:

image = $IMG

output = /home/candidate/alpine.spdx

format = spdx
