Hi,

Please could i get some pointers on the recommended approach for adding AntiVirus to CoreOS?

Should we install AV on to CoreOS directly or use have AV in a Docker Container and mount the filesystem?

I couldn't find much online about this topic. Apologies if i've missed something.

Many thanks in advance
Luciano

The general approach for adding anything is to run in a container, and I don't think AV would be different.  /usr is read only, and /etc should have no binaries, so you might not actually need to mount the entire filesystem. HTH, -Nick

Thanks Nick, appreciate the response. We will look into the container approach.
