Explanation

B - Static analysis inspects your source code to identify defects, vulnerabilities, and compliance issues as you code without having to run the program. This makes static analysis an essential component of your pipeline. E - Container Analysis provides vulnerability scanning and metadata storage for containers through Container Analysis. The scanning service performs vulnerability scans on images in Artifact Registry and Container Registry, then stores the resulting metadata and makes it available for consumption through an API. Metadata storage allows storing information from different sources, including vulnerability scanning, other Cloud services, and third-party providers. https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/container-analysis
