Chainguard Container for azurefile-csi

This driver allows Kubernetes to access Azure File volume using smb and nfs protocols, csi plugin name: file.csi.azure.com.

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/azurefile-csi: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 azurefile-csi image available from the Microsoft Artifact Registry. Switching to the Chainguard image should not require any changes to your existing setup.

Getting Started

Kubernetes

You can follow the official documentation for running azurefile-csi on Kubernetes to run azurefile-csi.

Set the image on the Deployment and Daemonset:

$ kubectl set image -n kube-system deployment/csi-azurefile-controller azurefile=cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/azurefile-csi:latest
deployment.apps/csi-azurefile-controller image updated
$ kubectl set image -n kube-system daemonset/csi-azurefile-node azurefile=cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/azurefile-csi:latest
daemonset.apps/csi-azurefile-node image updated

Helm

You can use the official azurefile-csi-driver Helm chart to install the azurefile-csi-driver, replacing the azurefile image in values.yaml with the Chainguard image.

Use the following values.yaml file to configure the Helm chart:

image:
  azurefile:
    repository: cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/azurefile-csi
    tag: latest

Add the azurefile-csi-driver chart:

$ helm repo add azurefile-csi-driver https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kubernetes-sigs/azurefile-csi-driver/master/charts
"azurefile-csi-driver" has been added to your repositories

Install the azurefile-csi-driver chart with your custom values.yaml file:

$ helm install azurefile-csi azurefile-csi-driver/azurefile-csi-driver --values values.yaml
NAME: my-azurefile-csi-driver
LAST DEPLOYED: <DATE>
NAMESPACE: default
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
The Azure File CSI Driver is getting deployed to your cluster.

To check Azure File CSI Driver pods status, please run:

  kubectl --namespace=default get pods --selector="app.kubernetes.io/name=my-azurefile-csi-driver" --watch

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.
