Chainguard Container for aws-efs-csi-driver

Minimal images for aws-efs-csi-driver.

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/aws-efs-csi-driver: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 AWS Elastic File System (EFS) Container Storage Interface (CSI) driver image is comparable to the amazon/aws-efs-csi-driver image on Docker Hub. As with many of Chainguard's other container images, the AWS EFS CSI driver image contains only the minimum number of dependencies it needs to function. This means it doesn't include things like a shell or package manager.

Getting Started

The EFS CSI driver requires IAM permissions to interact with your filesystem. This includes an IAM role and policies, as well as a service account and annotation to assume the role.

Refer to the AWS documentations resources on creating an IAM role for more information.

Install with Helm

For complete instructions on installing this image with Helm, please refer to the Helm chart documentation.

The following is an example of how to use the Helm chart, using the Chainguard image.

Start by adding a values.yaml file to configure the Helm chart:

cat <<EOF > values.yaml
image:
  repository: cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/aws-efs-csi-driver
  tag: latest
  digest: null
controller:
  serviceAccount:
  create: false
  name: efs-csi-controller-sa
EOF

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

Add the Helm repository:

helm repo add aws-efs-csi-driver https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/aws-efs-csi-driver/
helm repo update

Then Install the chart:

helm upgrade --install aws-efs-csi-driver --namespace kube-system aws-efs-csi-driver/aws-efs-csi-driver -f values.yaml

Install as an EKS add-on

Amazon's Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS) allows you to install the efs-csi-driver as an EKS add-on. For complete instructions on how you can do this, refer to the upstream documentation. If you've chosen this installation method, be aware that you cannot specify a custom image while installing as an EKS add-on.

You'll need to patch the efs-csi-controller deployment to use the Chainguard image, and this is a step you'll need to repeat each time that you re-deploy or upgrade the version using EKS add-ons.

What are Chainguard Containers?

Chainguard Containers are minimal container images that are secure by default.

In many cases, the Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest contain only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager. Chainguard Containers are built with Wolfi, our Linux undistro designed to produce container images that meet the requirements of a more secure software supply chain.

The main features of Chainguard Containers include:

• Minimal design, without unnecessary software bloat
• Daily builds to ensure container images are up-to-date with available security patches
• High quality build-time SBOMs attesting to the provenance of all artifacts within the image
• Verifiable signatures provided by Sigstore
• Reproducible builds with Cosign and apko (read more about reproducibility)

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

Although the -dev container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they feature additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to leverage the -dev variants, copying application artifacts into a final minimal container that offers a reduced attack surface that won’t allow package installations or logins.
