Compatibility Notes

The Chainguard db-operator-fips image is FIPS-compliant and meant to serve as a drop-in replacement for the official db-operator image. Switching to Chainguard db-operator-fips image should not require any changes to your existing setup. The image is completely compatible with official Helm chart for db-operator

FIPS Support

The db-operator-fips Chainguard Image ships with a validated redistribution of the OpenSSL's FIPS provider module. For more on FIPS support in Chainguard Images, consult the guide on FIPS-enabled Chainguard Images on Chainguard Academy

Getting Started

db-operator-fips can be deployed using Official Helm chart:

db-operator Deployments need certmanager CRDs to set up:

helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
helm repo update
helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager --namespace cert-manager --create-namespace --set installCRDs=true

Deploy using helm by overriding with Chainguard db-operator-fips image: Use the following values.yaml file to configure the Helm chart.

image:
  repository: cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/db-operator-fips
  tag: latest

Deploy the Helm chart:

helm repo add db-operator https://db-operator.github.io/charts
helm repo update
helm install db-operator db-operator/db-operator \
  --values values.yaml

Apply relevant CRDs based on use case:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/db-operator/db-operator/main/config/crd/bases/kinda.rocks_databases.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/db-operator/db-operator/main/config/crd/bases/kinda.rocks_dbusers.yaml
kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/db-operator/db-operator/main/config/crd/bases/kinda.rocks_dbinstances.yaml

The operator should be ready to use in the environment.

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:

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.
