Docker Optimizer Agent

Intelligent Dockerfile optimization with security scanning, performance analysis, and best practices enforcement.

Docker Optimizer Agent analyzes Dockerfiles and automatically generates optimized, secure, and efficient container configurations. It combines static analysis, security scanning, and performance optimization to produce production-ready Dockerfiles following industry best practices.

🚀 Key Features

• 🔒 Security-First Optimization: Vulnerability scanning with Trivy, security scoring (A-F grades), and automated security fixes
• 📏 Intelligent Size Reduction: Multi-stage builds, minimal base images, layer optimization (up to 80% size reduction)
• ⚡ Performance Enhancement: Parallel processing, intelligent caching, build context optimization
• 🛡️ Best Practices Enforcement: Non-root users, specific versions, health checks, proper signal handling
• 🔄 Batch Processing: Optimize multiple Dockerfiles simultaneously with performance monitoring
• 📊 Comprehensive Reporting: Detailed explanations, metrics, and security analysis in JSON/YAML/text formats

📦 Installation

# Install from PyPI
pip install docker-optimizer-agent

# Install with security scanning support
pip install docker-optimizer-agent[security]

# Install development dependencies
pip install docker-optimizer-agent[dev]

🏃 Quick Start

Command Line Interface

# Basic optimization
docker-optimizer --dockerfile Dockerfile --output Dockerfile.optimized

# Security scanning with optimization
docker-optimizer --dockerfile Dockerfile --security-scan --format json

# Multi-stage build generation  
docker-optimizer --dockerfile Dockerfile --multistage

# Performance optimization with reporting
docker-optimizer --dockerfile Dockerfile --performance --performance-report

# Batch processing multiple Dockerfiles
docker-optimizer --batch service1/Dockerfile --batch service2/Dockerfile --performance

Python API

from docker_optimizer import DockerfileOptimizer
from docker_optimizer.external_security import ExternalSecurityScanner

# Basic optimization
optimizer = DockerfileOptimizer()
with open('Dockerfile', 'r') as f:
    result = optimizer.optimize_dockerfile(f.read())

print(f"Size reduction: {result.original_size} → {result.optimized_size}")
print(f"Explanation: {result.explanation}")

# Security scanning
scanner = ExternalSecurityScanner()
vuln_report = scanner.scan_dockerfile_for_vulnerabilities(dockerfile_content)
security_score = scanner.calculate_security_score(vuln_report)
print(f"Security grade: {security_score.grade}")

# Multi-stage optimization  
from docker_optimizer.multistage import MultiStageOptimizer
multistage = MultiStageOptimizer()
ms_result = multistage.generate_multistage_dockerfile(dockerfile_content)
print(ms_result.optimized_dockerfile)

🎯 Optimization Categories

🔒 Security Enhancements

• Vulnerability Scanning: Trivy integration with CVE database lookup
• User Security: Non-root user creation and privilege management
• Version Pinning: Specific package versions to prevent supply chain attacks
• Base Image Security: Recommendations for minimal, secure base images

📏 Size Reduction (up to 80%)

• Multi-Stage Builds: Separate build and runtime environments
• Minimal Base Images: Alpine, distroless, and slim variants
• Layer Optimization: Combined commands and cache cleanup
• Build Context: .dockerignore optimization

⚡ Performance Optimization

• Parallel Processing: Multi-threaded Dockerfile analysis
• Intelligent Caching: LRU cache with TTL for optimization results
• Layer Caching: Optimal instruction ordering for Docker layer cache
• Batch Processing: Process multiple Dockerfiles simultaneously

🛡️ Best Practices Enforcement

• Health Checks: Automatic health check generation
• Signal Handling: Proper SIGTERM handling with STOPSIGNAL
• Metadata Labels: Monitoring, security, and compliance labels
• Resource Management: Memory limits and CPU constraints

📊 Example Optimization

Before (Vulnerable, 180MB):

FROM ubuntu:latest
RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip curl
COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip3 install -r requirements.txt
COPY . /app
WORKDIR /app
CMD ["python3", "app.py"]

After (Secure, 65MB, A+ Security Grade):

# Multi-stage build for optimal size and security
FROM ubuntu:22.04-slim AS builder
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends \
    python3=3.10.6-1~22.04 \
    python3-pip=22.0.2+dfsg-1 && \
    apt-get clean && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*

COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip3 install --user --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt

FROM ubuntu:22.04-slim AS runtime
RUN groupadd -r appuser && useradd -r -g appuser appuser

# Copy Python packages from builder
COPY --from=builder /root/.local /home/appuser/.local
COPY --chown=appuser:appuser . /app

USER appuser
WORKDIR /app
ENV PATH=/home/appuser/.local/bin:$PATH

HEALTHCHECK --interval=30s --timeout=3s --retries=3 \
    CMD curl -f http://localhost:8000/health || exit 1

CMD ["python3", "app.py"]

Improvements:

• ✅ 65% size reduction (180MB → 65MB)
• ✅ Security grade A+ (was F)
• ✅ Multi-stage build separating build and runtime
• ✅ Non-root user for security
• ✅ Specific versions preventing vulnerabilities
• ✅ Health check for monitoring
• ✅ Optimized layers for better caching
