Aqua Security's platform documentation covers its CNAPP architecture, spanning vulnerability management with code-to-cloud context, runtime security and inline enforcement policies, software supply chain security controls, and GenAI application security capabilities. Technical resources address both agent-based and agentless deployment configurations across supported platforms including Kubernetes, OpenShift, VMware Tanzu, IBM Z, and all major cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle Cloud, Alibaba Cloud). Integration guides are available for CI/CD pipelines, container registries, Docker, and SIEM/security tooling. Aqua's open-source projects (38,228 GitHub stars) provide additional reference implementations and community-supported tooling. Enterprise licensing documentation covers two pricing models: per-workload (Cloud Security) and per-code-repository (Dev Security).
