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/infinispan-operator:latest

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

Compatibility Notes

The Chainguard Infinispan Operator image is designed to be a drop-in replacement for the upstream Infinispan Operator. Like most Chainguard images, this container image is minimal and does not include unnecessary components such as a shell or package manager, while maintaining full compatibility with Infinispan cluster management functionality.

Getting Started

The Infinispan Operator enables you to create, configure, and manage Infinispan clusters on Kubernetes. It automates the deployment, scaling, and lifecycle management of Infinispan distributed in-memory data grid instances.

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

Installation with OLM (Operator Lifecycle Manager)

The easiest way to install the Infinispan Operator is through OLM and then patch the CSV to use the Chainguard image:

# Install OLM if not already installed
curl -fsSL https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-lifecycle-manager/releases/download/v0.32.0/install.sh | bash -s v0.32.0

# Wait for OLM to be ready
kubectl wait --for=condition=Available deployment/olm-operator -n olm --timeout=300s
kubectl wait --for=condition=Available deployment/catalog-operator -n olm --timeout=300s
kubectl wait --for=condition=Available deployment/packageserver -n olm --timeout=300s

# Install Infinispan operator via OperatorHub
kubectl create -f https://operatorhub.io/install/infinispan.yaml

# Wait for operator deployment to be ready
kubectl wait --for=condition=Available deployment -l app.kubernetes.io/name=infinispan-operator -n operators --timeout=300s

# Get the CSV name and patch it to use Chainguard image
CSV_NAME=$(kubectl get csv -n operators -l operators.coreos.com/infinispan.operators -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
kubectl -n operators patch csv $CSV_NAME --type='json' -p='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/install/spec/deployments/0/spec/template/spec/containers/0/image", "value": "cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/infinispan-operator:latest"}]'

# Restart the deployment to use the new image
OPERATOR_DEPLOYMENT=$(kubectl get deployment -n operators -l app.kubernetes.io/name=infinispan-operator -o jsonpath='{.items[0].metadata.name}')
kubectl -n operators rollout restart deployment/$OPERATOR_DEPLOYMENT
kubectl -n operators rollout status deployment/$OPERATOR_DEPLOYMENT --timeout=300s

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.
