Chainguard's VerticaDB Operator FIPS container image is comparable to the VerticaDB Operator from Vertica. Chainguard's version is a minimal, secure, and regularly updated container image designed to run Java applications. It leverages the security features of Chainguard Images, including low-to-zero CVEs, automated nightly builds, high-quality SBOMs, verifiable signatures, and reproducible builds.
For production scenarios, it's recommended you follow Vertica's guide on deploying Vertica DB operator using the official Helm chart.
To illustrate how this image works, the following is an example of how to deploy VerticaDB Operator locally.
Start by creating a values.yaml
file:
Then add the repository for Vertica Charts:
Next, install the Helm chart for VerticaDB Operator:
This will deploy VerticaDB Operator on your local Kubernetes cluster. Now you can install VerticaDB by creating a VerticaDB custom resource (CR):
Wait for the VerticaDB instance to be initialized:
Check the status of the VerticaDB instance:
You can now access the VerticaDB instance using the vsql client:
This will open a vsql shell where you can run SQL commands.
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.
