This driver allows Kubernetes to access an NFS server running on a Linux node. This image is FIPS compliant.
Chainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.
For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev
:
Be sure to replace the ORGANIZATION
placeholder with the name used for your organization's private repository within the Chainguard Registry.
Chainguard's kubernetes-csi-driver-nfs-fips Image is comparable to the official nfsplugin
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 shell or a package manager.
This 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.
If you already have an NFS server setup, you can skip this step.
If you don't have an existing NFS server setup, you can use the following YAML to get a minimal nfs-server setup up and running. Note that this is not a production setup, and is just meant to test the Chainguard image:
This YAML will set up a server to expose the other server and deployment that run the server pod.
In this section you will use the Helm chart available from the NFS CSI driver for Kubernetes GitHub repository. This will enable Kubernetes to handle NFS volumes:
Say you want to tell Kubernetes how to provision storage using NFS. To do this, you'll first need to retrieve the NFS server's clusterIP
:
Next, you would create a storage class that tells Kubernetes to use the NFS server for storage:
Following that, create a Persistent Volume Claim (PVC) that will request storage from the storage class:
To test that this setup will work, create a pod that uses the PVC:
Finally, check whether the pod was created and in a Ready
state:
This will confirm the csi-driver was able to provision a persistent volume for the pod and that the csi-driver is working as expected.
Chainguard's free tier of Starter container images are built with Wolfi, our minimal Linux undistro.
All other Chainguard Containers are built with Chainguard OS, Chainguard's minimal Linux operating system 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 development, or -dev
, variant.
In all other cases, including Chainguard Containers tagged as :latest
or with a specific version number, the container images include only an open-source application and its runtime dependencies. These minimal container images typically do not contain a shell or package manager.
Although the -dev
container image variants have similar security features as their more minimal versions, they include additional software that is typically not necessary in production environments. We recommend using multi-stage builds to copy artifacts from the -dev
variant into a more minimal production image.
To improve security, Chainguard Containers include only essential dependencies. Need more packages? Chainguard customers can use Custom Assembly to add packages, either through the Console, chainctl
, or API.
To use Custom Assembly in the Chainguard Console: navigate to the image you'd like to customize in your Organization's list of images, and click on the Customize image button at the top of the page.
