Download this Container Image

For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev:

docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/k8s-mig-manager: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 k8s-mig-manager Image is comparable to the official k8s-mig-manager Image from Docker Hub. However, the Chainguard image contains only the minimum set of tools and dependencies needed to function. This means it doesn't include things like a package manager or shell.

Getting Started

To get started with Chainguard k8s-mig-manager Image, you will need:

1. GPU setup with MIG mode enabled
2. kubernetes nodes labeled nvidia.com/gpu.deploy.mig-manager=true and desired config, like: nvidia.com/mig.config=all-1g.5gb

Next, to deploy the image use the official example given in the repository here, and change the upstream image to Chainguard Image here:

image: cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/k8s-mig-manager:latest

you can check the partitions by running: nvidia-smi

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.
