Chainguard Container for wso2is

WSO2 Identity Server is a powerful, modern identity and access management solution for your on-premises or cloud environment

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

Download this Container Image

For those with access, this container image is available on cgr.dev:

docker pull cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/wso2is:latest

Be sure to replace the ORGANIZATION placeholder with the name used for your organization's private repository within the Chainguard Registry.

Compatibility Notes

This image is comparable to the wso2is/wso2is image available from Docker Hub. Switching to the Chainguard image should not require any changes to your existing setup.

Getting Started

There are several ways to deploy the WSO2 Identity Server (IS) but in this example we will be using the official WSO2 IS Helm chart to deploy it on Kubernetes. The Helm chart is available in the wso2is Helm repository.

To get started, create the values.yaml file with the following content:

deployment:
  image:
    registry: cgr.dev
    repository: ORGANIZATION/wso2is # Replace ORGANIZATION with your organization's name
    tag: latest

Then, install the WSO2 IS Helm chart using the following command:

helm repo add wso2  https://helm.wso2.com
helm install wso2is wso2/identity-server \
  --namespace wso2is --create-namespace \
  --values values.yaml

This will deploy the WSO2 Identity Server with the Chainguard container image. Access will depend on how ingress is configured in your cluster. Here's a quick example to validate the service's web UI via port forwarding:

kubectl port-forward svc/wso2is-identity-server 9443:9443 -n wso2is

You can then access the WSO2 IS dashboard at https://localhost:9443.

You can learn more about the API management capabilities of WSO2 IS in the WSO2 IS documentation.

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.
