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

docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/kube-state-metrics-bitnami: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 Chainguard image is comparable with the bitnami kube-state-metrics image hosted on Dockerhub.

Only the essential tools and dependencies are included for functionality. The image does not contain a shell or package manager.

Getting Started

This version of the Chainguard metrics server image, can be deployed using the bitnami helm chart.

Create a values.yaml, specifying the Chainguard image:

# values.yaml
image:
  registry: cgr.dev
  repository: ORGANIZATION/kube-state-metrics-bitnami
  tag: latest
global:
  security:
    allowInsecureImages: true

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.
