Kubernetes Deprecated Bitnami Repository Image PullsMedium
Description
- Detects Kubernetes events where container images are being pulled from the deprecated /bitnami repository on Docker Hub.\n- Monitors image pull operations specifically from docker.io/bitnami/* which will be discontinued.\n- Identifies usage of the deprecated Bitnami repository that requires immediate migration.\n- Tracks container deployments using the legacy /bitnami path for urgent migration planning.\n
Mitigation
- Immediately audit all deployments using docker.io/bitnami/* image references.\n- Migrate to supported Bitnami repositories (bitnamilegacy or bitnamisecure) before August 28th, 2025.\n- Update all Helm charts, Kubernetes manifests, and CI/CD pipelines to use new repository paths.\n- Replace deprecated /bitnami references with supported alternatives or equivalent images.\n- Implement automated scanning to detect any remaining deprecated repository usage.\n- Create urgent migration plan with rollback procedures for affected services.\n- Monitor for any legacy /bitnami references and update immediately upon detection.\n
