Request trialChainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.
For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev

Kiali is a management console for Istio service mesh. It provides graphs, metrics, traces, and validations for your mesh. The Chainguard kiali
container image is comparable to the upstream Kiali image. Chainguard's kiali
container image was designed with security and minimalism in mind, and there fore doesn't include things like a shell or package manager.
Kiali is typically deployed alongside Istio service mesh using Helm charts or Kubernetes manifests. Kiali requires metrics from Prometheus to function properly. Here's a complete example using Helm charts.
First, add the required Helm repositories:
Install Prometheus first (required for Kiali to collect metrics):
Then install Kiali with Prometheus integration:
You can then access the Kiali dashboard by port-forwarding:
Open http://localhost:20001/kiali in your browser to access the Kiali web interface.
To verify Kiali is working correctly, you can test the API endpoint:
For production deployments, configure proper authentication instead of using anonymous access:
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.
