Introduction

There are several ways to use Synopsys products in an Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment.

• Black Duck can be easily deployed in an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) in Amazon's Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). 
• All or part of the OpsSight solution (Black Duck and/or OpsSight Connector) can be deployed in Amazon's Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes.

You can use Synopsys's scanning technology in a variety of Amazon continuous integration environments by using Synopsys Detect.

• Synopsys Detect can be invoked from Amazon CodeBuild and CodePipeline to invoke either a Black Duck or Coverity on Polaris scan.
• Synopsys Detect can also be used to perform Black Duck scans of containers in Amazon's Elastic Container Registry (ECR).

Black Duck scan results and events

• Coverity on Polaris scan results are available in Polaris.
• Black Duck scan results are sent to your dedicated Black Duck instance, providing vulnerability, license, and operational risk results on the open source software components identified in the scans.
• Black Duck events can be displayed in the AWS CodeStar console using the Black Duck Jira Plugin.
