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

The Chainguard Opentelemetry-java-instrumentation Image is comparable to the official Opentelemetry-java-instrumentation Image from Docker Hub. However, the Chainguard image does not run as the root user and contains only the minimum set of tools and dependencies needed to function. This means it doesn't include things like a package manager.
This blog is a good starting point to use the opentelemetry-java-instrumentation
image. Following that, change the image in the Instrumentation
resource:
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.
