Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Container images hold the secrets deep inside
Each layer tells a story of dependencies we hide
From the base OS foundation to the apps we install
Every package every library we need to track them all
Multi-stage builds complicate the picture that we see
What remains in final stage determines what we need

[Chorus]
Scan Build Map Report that's the SBOM way
Software Bill of Materials shows us what's at play
Layer by layer peel the onion back
Dependencies and vulnerabilities we track
Scan Build Map Report for supply chain defense
Container SBOM generation makes perfect sense

[Verse 2]
Static analysis tools dive into the filesystem tree
Reading package managers and manifests they see
Dynamic runtime scanning catches what was missed before
When containers are executing showing dependencies more
Version pinning matters when we're building what we need
Floating tags bring chaos reproducible builds succeed

[Chorus]
Scan Build Map Report that's the SBOM way
Software Bill of Materials shows us what's at play
Layer by layer peel the onion back
Dependencies and vulnerabilities we track
Scan Build Map Report for supply chain defense
Container SBOM generation makes perfect sense

[Bridge]
CycloneDX and SPDX formats standardize the game
JSON XML and YAML all convey the same
Transitive dependencies hidden in the chain
One small library compromise can cause security pain
Attestation signatures prove the SBOM's true
Trust but verify everything that's coming through

[Verse 3]
Multi-stage complexity requires deeper sight
Build stage artifacts don't make it to final flight
Only runtime dependencies matter in the end
Layer diff analysis helps us comprehend
Automated pipelines generate SBOMs at build time
Supply chain transparency prevents the next supply crime

[Chorus]
Scan Build Map Report that's the SBOM way
Software Bill of Materials shows us what's at play
Layer by layer peel the onion back
Dependencies and vulnerabilities we track
Scan Build Map Report for supply chain defense
Container SBOM generation makes perfect sense

[Outro]
Every container tells a story
SBOM reveals the full inventory
For resilience and security
Container transparency is key
