Chainguard Container for argo-workflowcontroller-fips

Argo is a collection of tools for Kubernetes that help users to run workflows and manage clusters.

Chainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.

Download this Container Image

For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev:

docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/argo-workflowcontroller-fips:latest

Be sure to replace the ORGANIZATION placeholder with the name used for your organization's private repository within the Chainguard Registry.

Compatibility Notes

Chainguard's Argo image group is composed of multiple container images:

docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/argo-exec-fips
docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/argo-cli-fips
docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/argo-workflowcontroller-fips
docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/argo-events-fips

These images are comparable to the images used for various Argo components, including Argo CD, Argo Workflows, and Argo Events.

FIPS support

Chainguard's argo-fips images ship with a validated redistribution of the OpenSSL FIPS provider module. For more on FIPS support in Chainguard container images, consult the guide on FIPS-enabled Chainguard Containers on Chainguard Academy.

Getting Started

Argo provides two upstream methods for installing: Helm and raw manifests. The Chainguard container images for Argo are designed to be a drop-in replacement for either method. To use them, replace the appropriate image: path with the Chainguard Argo image.

Chainguard's Argo images can be deployed separately, but are typically deployed together leveraging the Argo Helm charts.

The following is an example values file for deploying these images with Helm:

images:
  tag: "latest"
controller:
  image:
    # -- Registry to use for the controller
    registry: cgr.dev
    # -- Registry to use for the controller
    repository: ORGANIZATION/argo-workflowcontroller-fips
executor:
  image:
    # -- Registry to use for the Workflow Executors
    registry: cgr.dev
    # -- Repository to use for the Workflow Executors
    repository: ORGANIZATION/argo-exec-fips
server:
  # -- Deploy the Argo Server
  image:
    # -- Registry to use for the server
    registry: cgr.dev
    # -- Repository to use for the server
    repository: ORGANIZATION/argo-cli-fips

Assuming this values file is named argo.yaml, you could execute the following helm commands to install Argo Workflows:

helm repo add argo https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm

helm install argo-workflows argo/argo-workflows \
  --namespace argo-workflows \
  --create-namespace \
  -f argo.yaml

The following values file will only deploy the Argo Events image:

images:
  tag: "latest"
global:
  image:
    # -- Registry to use for the events
    repository: cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/argo-events-fips
    tag: "latest"

Assuming this values file is named events.yaml, you could run the following Helm commands to deploy the Argo Events image:

helm repo add argo https://argoproj.github.io/argo-helm

helm install argo-workflows argo/argo-events \
  --namespace argo-events \
  --create-namespace \
  -f events.yaml

What are Chainguard Containers?

Chainguard's free tier of Starter container images are built with Wolfi, our minimal Linux undistro.

All other Chainguard Containers are built with Chainguard OS, Chainguard's minimal Linux operating system designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.

The main features of Chainguard Containers include:

For cases where you need container images with shells and package managers to build or debug, most Chainguard Containers come paired with a development, or -dev, variant.

In all other cases, including Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest or with a specific version number, the container images include only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager.

Although the -dev container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they include additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to copy artifacts from the -dev variant into a more minimal production image.

Need additional packages?

To improve security, Chainguard Containers include only essential dependencies. Need more packages? Chainguard customers can use Custom Assembly to add packages, either through the Console, chainctl, or API.

To use Custom Assembly in the Chainguard Console: navigate to the image you'd like to customize in your Organization's list of images, and click on the Customize image button at the top of the page.
