Chainguard Container for azure-ipam

Azure VNET IPAM plugins manage IP address assignments to containers.

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/azure-ipam:latest

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

Compatibility Notes

This image is comparable to the azure-ipam image available from the Microsoft Artifact Registry. Switching to the Chainguard image should not require any changes to your existing setup.

Getting Started

Kubernetes

The source repository contains a Kubernetes test manifest that can be used with a your image to confirm operation:

apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: DaemonSet
metadata:
  name: azure-cns
  namespace: kube-system
  labels:
    app: azure-cns
spec:
...
  template:
...
    spec:
...
      containers:
...
      initContainers:
        - name: cni-installer
          image: cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/azure-ipam:latest
          imagePullPolicy: Always
          command: ["/dropgz"]

Alternatively, you can replace the image used in an existing Daemonset:

$ kubectl set image -n kube-system daemonset/azure-cns cni-installer=cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/azure-ipam:latest
daemonset.apps/azure-cns image updated

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.
