The following is an example of how to use the Helm chart, overriding the image with the Chainguard image:
Create a values.yaml
For full instructions on prometheus-operator, refer to the official documentation. The GitHub repository may also be useful.
To illustrate how to deploy a sample application, you can use the kubectl create deployment
command:
Next, expose the application using the kubectl expose
command:
Next, create a ServiceMonitor resource with the following servicemonitor.yaml
manifest:
Apply the ServiceMonitor

Finally, create a Prometheus Resource with the following prometheus.yaml
manifest. Ensure Prometheus is configured to discover the ServiceMonitor
:
And apply the Prometheus resource:
Check that Prometheus has discovered the target:

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.
