Issues relating to misconfiguration scanning
TODO:
Config
to unsupported in the tableMisconfiguration scanning is performed on the client side. Otherwise, a client needs to send all the IaC files, which may include sensitive information, to the server.
Another benefit of the client/server mode is caching. In image scanning, the server stores the analysis result in the cache per layer, and the client can skip analyzing layers in subsequent scans. This is very useful for vulnerability scanning but not for misconfiguration scanning. In misconfiguration scanning, we need to cache the IaC file contents. In addition, filesystem scanning doesn't fit for cache.
For the above reasons, misconfiguration scanning (and secret scanning for the same reasons) doesn't support the client/server mode.
@simar7 @nikpivkin I think we should update the document.
