Compatibility Notes

The Chainguard mariadb-operator-fips container image is comparable to the upstream MariaDB Operator image, with improved security and few-to-zero CVEs.

FIPS Support

This Chainguard Container ships with a validated redistribution of the OpenSSL's FIPS provider module. For more on FIPS support in Chainguard Containers, consult the guide on FIPS-enabled Chainguard Containers on Chainguard Academy.

Getting Started

mariadb-operator-fips is a Kubernetes operator that can be deployed using Helm. Refer to the upstream repository documentation for detailed setup and usage instructions.

To use our minimal, Wolfi-based FIPS-compliant image with the official Helm chart, you'll need to override the image used by the chart and specify the Chainguard image as shown in the example below:

helm repo add mariadb-operator https://helm.mariadb.com/mariadb-operator
helm repo update

# Install the CRDs first
helm install mariadb-operator-crds mariadb-operator/mariadb-operator-crds \
  --namespace mariadb-system \
  --create-namespace

# Install the operator with chainguard FIPS image
helm install mariadb-operator mariadb-operator/mariadb-operator \
  --namespace mariadb-system \
  --set image.repository=cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/mariadb-operator-fips:latest

For complete configuration options and advanced usage scenarios, please refer to the official mariadb-operator documentation.

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.
