Sidecar container that watches Kubernetes Snapshot CRD objects and triggers CreateSnapshot/DeleteSnapshot against a CSI endpoint. This container image includes the snapshotter, snapshot-controller and snapshot-validation-webhook.
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-external-snapshotter
container image collection is a drop-in replacement for the following images:
k8s.gcr.io/sig-storage/csi-snapshotter
k8s.gcr.io/sig-storage/snapshot-controller
k8s.gcr.io/sig-storage/snapshot-validation-webhook
Chainguard Container Images are designed with minimalism and security in mind,
and thus the kubernetes-csi-external-snapshotter
image has the following differences from the upstream image:
usr/bin/{component}
, where as the upstream sets it to /{component}
.To deploy the snapshotter, apply the manifests found in the upstream project here. You'll need to adjust the image
to use cgr.dev/chainguard/kubernetes-csi-external-snapshotter
instead. You can do this by extending the existing kustomization file as follows:
To deploy the snapshotter, apply the manifests found in the upstream project here. You'll need to adjust the image
to use cgr.dev/chainguard/kubernetes-csi-external-snapshot-controller
instead. You can do this by extending the existing kustomization file as follows:
To deploy the webhook, see the documentation in the upstream project. You'll just need to replace the container spec's image
value with cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/kubernetes-csi-external-snapshot-validation-webhook-fips
.
You can verify that the webhook is working by following these instructions to submit an invalid snapshot definition and see whether it gets rejected.
Once all the components are deployed, you can try to apply one valid and one invalid snapshot to check the behavior.
Apply the following invalid Snapshot, which will be rejected by the validating webhook.
We can then apply the following valid Snapshot which will be allowed by the validating webhook:
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.
