Implements comprehensive Bill of Materials (BOM), Software Bill of Materials (SBOM), and Compatibility Matrix to support supply chain security, compliance, and version management requirements.

Overview

This PR adds three major capabilities:

  1. Automated BOM generation - Tracks all container images deployed by the operator
  2. SBOM generation - Industry-standard software bill of materials for the operator binary
  3. Compatibility Matrix - Structured version compatibility and dependency information

Changes

Integration with Existing Systems

Compatibility with Artifact Hub

The BOM references are compatible with the existing artifacthub-repo.yml configuration. The compatibility matrix provides additional metadata that can be referenced from Artifact Hub.

Workflow Integration

All BOM/SBOM generation is automated in the release workflow:

  1. Tag is created via create-release-tag workflow
  2. release-package-helm workflow triggers automatically
  3. Docker images built and pushed
  4. BOM generated from .env file
  5. SBOM generated from operator image
  6. All artifacts attached to GitHub release

Maintenance

Updating Versions

To update component versions for a new release:

  1. Update .env file:

Example: Update Ray to 2.45.0

RELATED_IMAGE_RAY_HEAD=...ray-head:build-7
RELATED_IMAGE_RAY_WORKER=...ray-worker-gpu:build-8
RAY_VERSION=2.45.0
2. Update compatibility-matrix.yaml:
managedComponents:
ray:
versions:
- version: "2.45.0"
status: recommended
images:
head: "...ray-head:build-7"
worker: "...ray-worker-gpu:build-8"
3. BOM automatically updates on next release!

Standards Compliance

  • ✅ CycloneDX 1.4 - Industry-standard BOM format
  • ✅ SPDX 2.3 - Software Package Data Exchange
  • ✅ SLSA - Supply chain Levels for Software Artifacts
  • ✅ NTIA Minimum Elements - SBOM baseline requirements
  • ✅ SSDF - NIST Secure Software Development Framework

Breaking Changes

None. This is purely additive - new files and capabilities with no changes to existing functionality.

Checklist

  • BOM generation script created and tested
  • Compatibility matrix created with comprehensive info
  • Makefile target added for local generation
  • Release workflow updated
  • Documentation written (user guide + implementation guide)
  • Local testing completed successfully
  • All dependency versions tracked (K8s, Go, Splunk, SOK)
  • SBOM generation configured (CycloneDX, SPDX, Syft)

Include Kubernetes and Go versions in Bill of Materials for better
dependency tracking and compatibility information.

Changes:
- Extract K8S version from EKS_CLUSTER_K8_VERSION or KUBECTL_VERSION
- Extract GO_VERSION from .env file
- Include versions in all BOM formats (JSON, YAML, text)

This helps users understand:
- Which Kubernetes version the operator was tested/validated against
- Which Go version was used to build the operator
- Compatibility matrix for deployments

Include Splunk Enterprise release version and image in Bill of Materials
to track compatibility with Splunk platform.

Changes:
- Extract Splunk Enterprise version from SPLUNK_ENTERPRISE_RELEASE_IMAGE
- Include both version (e.g., 9.4.1) and full image reference
- Update all BOM formats (JSON, YAML, text) with Splunk Enterprise info

This provides clear visibility into which Splunk Enterprise version
the operator release is compatible with, supporting:
- Version compatibility matrix
- Deployment planning
- Support troubleshooting
- Compliance documentation

Example output:
  Splunk Enterprise:       9.4.1
  Splunk Enterprise Image: splunk/splunk:9.4.1

The jq command .artifacts | length may fail depending on the Syft JSON schema version. The Syft native JSON format structure can vary between versions. Consider using a more robust approach like jq -r '.artifacts // .packages // [] | length' to handle different schema versions, or simply remove the statistics output if it's not critical.

Suggested change
jq '.artifacts | length' dist/sbom-operator-v$VERSION.syft.json || echo "SBOM contains package inventory"
jq -r '.artifacts // .packages // [] | length' dist/sbom-operator-v$VERSION.syft.json || echo "SBOM contains package inventory"

The Package URL (PURL) format for Docker images should use : as the version separator, not @. The correct format is pkg:docker/${image_name}:${image_tag} or for digest-based references pkg:docker/${image_name}@sha256:.... Currently using @ with a tag will not conform to the PURL specification.
