Chainguard Container for aws-s3-controller

S3 controller is an ACK service controller for Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3).

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-s3-controller: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-S3-Controller image is a lean, Wolfi-based container image. It is comparable to the S3-controller image published by AWS in functionality and has minimal dependencies.

Getting Started

The ACK (short for AWS Controllers for Kubernetes) service controller has a separate Helm chart that installs the necessary supporting artifacts as a Kubernetes deployment. This includes the ACK service controller, custom resource definitions (CRDs), and Kubernetes Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) manifests.

You can find Helm charts for ACK service controllers in the ACK registry within the Amazon ECR Public Gallery.

export SERVICE=s3
export RELEASE_VERSION=$(curl -sL https://api.github.com/repos/aws-controllers-k8s/${SERVICE}-controller/releases/latest | jq -r '.tag_name | ltrimstr("v")')
export ACK_SYSTEM_NAMESPACE=ack-system
export AWS_REGION=us-west-2

aws ecr-public get-login-password --region us-east-1 | helm registry login --username AWS --password-stdin public.ecr.aws

helm install --create-namespace -n $ACK_SYSTEM_NAMESPACE ack-$SERVICE-controller \
  oci://public.ecr.aws/aws-controllers-k8s/$SERVICE-chart --version=$RELEASE_VERSION --set=aws.region=$AWS_REGION --set-image.repository=cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/aws-s3-controller --set=image.tag=latest

This Helm deployement will be fully functional once the ACK controllers have the required AWS IAM credentials to manage AWS resources. The ACK documentation includes resources on how to Configure IAM Permissions.

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.
