Azure Function with ClamAV in Kubernetes: Comprehensive Deployment Guide

Welcome to the Azure Function with ClamAV in Kubernetes project! This guide provides comprehensive instructions on deploying an Azure Function integrated with ClamAV within a Kubernetes environment. Our solution focuses on real-time security enforcement, addressing potential threats in cloud storage by utilizing event-driven security measures.

Key Features

  • Azure Function with Blob Trigger: Automatically triggered by new blob uploads, initiating a ClamAV scan for threats.
  • ClamAV Scanning: Integrated within the Kubernetes cluster to examine and act upon detecting malicious content.
  • Event-Driven Security: Minimizes the window of vulnerability by promptly scanning newly uploaded blobs.

Badge Overview

In our project, we use various badges to signify the status and achievements of our deployment. Here's what each badge represents:

  • Trivy Scan and Report: Indicates the security status of our Docker images as assessed by Trivy scans. View Scan Results
  • Build and Push Docker Image: Shows the status of the latest Docker image build and push actions. View Build Status
  • GitHub Commit Activity: Displays the frequency of commits to the repository.
  • GitHub Last Commit: Shows when the last commit was made.
  • GitHub Top Language: Indicates the primary programming language used in the repository.
  • GitHub License: Displays the type of license under which the project is released.
  • Docker CI: Represents the status of our Docker image builds via GitHub Actions. View CI Status

These badges provide a quick overview of our project's current status and achievements.

Prerequisites

Before starting with the deployment, ensure you have the following prerequisites installed and set up:

  • Docker: Essential for containerizing the Azure Function and ClamAV. Install Docker
  • Kubernetes (Minikube): Provides a local Kubernetes cluster environment. Ideal for development and testing. Install Minikube
  • kubectl: The command-line tool for Kubernetes. Allows you to run commands against Kubernetes clusters. Install kubectl
  • Azure CLI: Enables managing Azure resources directly from the command line. Install Azure CLI
  • Git: Version control system for tracking changes in your code. Install Git

Please ensure all these tools are installed and properly configured before proceeding with the deployment.


Project Structure

Understanding the project structure is crucial for navigating and modifying the deployment. Here's an overview of the directory layout:

AzureFunctionClamAVKubernetes/ │ ├── BlobScanFunctionApp/ # Azure Function app directory. │ ├── .vscode/ # VSCode settings. │ ├── bin/ # Build artifacts. │ ├── obj/ # Build outputs. │ ├── Properties/ # Project configurations. │ └── ... # Additional resources. │ └── clamAV deployment/ # Kubernetes manifests. ├── clamav-config.yaml # ConfigMap for ClamAV settings. ├── clamav-deployment.yaml # ClamAV deployment specification. ├── azurefunction-config.yaml # Azure Function ConfigMap. ├── azurefunction-deployment.yaml # Azure Function deployment. └── ... # Other Kubernetes manifests

Each directory and file plays a specific role in the setup and deployment of our Azure Function and ClamAV within Kubernetes. Understanding this structure will aid in effectively navigating and customizing the deployment.
