Chainguard Container for secrets-store-csi-driver-provider-aws

The AWS provider for the Secrets Store CSI Driver allows you to fetch secrets from AWS Secrets Manager and AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store, and mount them into Kubernetes pods.

Chainguard Containers are regularly-updated, secure-by-default container images.

Usage

The official docs provide a reference for setting up the AWS provider for Secrets Store CSI Driver. Below are some important considerations:

1. Using Chainguard Image:

   When installing the Secrets Store CSI Driver via Helm, you can utilize the secrets-store-csi-drive Chainguard image:

   helm repo add secrets-store-csi-driver https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/secrets-store-csi-driver/charts
   helm install -n kube-system csi-secrets-store secrets-store-csi-driver/secrets-store-csi-driver \
     --set image.repository=cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/secrets-store-csi-driver \
     --set image.tag=latest

2. Using Private ECR Repository:

   If you're using a private ECR repository, you will need the private-installer.yaml file, which can be found here. The private build section in the official docs has additional information for this setup.

   Follow the AWS ECR guide and pull the cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/secrets-store-csi-driver image, tag it, and push it to your private repository($PRIVREPO).

3. FIPS Compliance:

   For FIPS-compliant images, set the FIPS endpoint in the Helm chart by adding the --set useFipsEndpoint=true flag during installation:

   helm repo add aws-secrets-manager https://aws.github.io/secrets-store-csi-driver-provider-aws
   helm install -n kube-system secrets-provider-aws aws-secrets-manager/secrets-store-csi-driver-provider-aws \
    --set image.repository=$PRIVREPO \
    --set image.tag=latest \
    --set useFipsEndpoint=true

   The $PRIVREPO here is your private ECR repository that contains the tagged cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/secrets-store-csi-driver image.

What are Chainguard Containers?

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:

• 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 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.

Need additional packages?

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.
