CloudNativePG PostgreSQL FIPS Overview
Secure your stack with a hardened, FIPS-validated CloudNativePG PostgreSQL image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies.
The CloudNativePG (CNPG) platform is designed to seamlessly manage PostgreSQL databases in Kubernetes environments. The CloudNative-PG-PostgreSQL image is a purpose-built PostgreSQL container used by the CloudNativePG operator to run database instances within a Kubernetes cluster. It bundles the core PostgreSQL engine with essential extensions and backup utilities that the operator relies on for streaming replication, automated failover, and point-in-time recovery.
FIPS 140-3 Certification
This image is FIPS-validated to ensure its cryptographic operations meet the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) required for secure government and regulated environments. Its core cryptographic modules are validated under the NIST Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) and comply with the FIPS 140-3 standard.
To verify that the FIPS 140-3 provider is configured and active, follow the instructions in the FIPS compliance tab.
Try It Out
Verify you can pull the image:
docker pull reg.mini.dev/cloudnative-pg-postgresql-fipsThis image is designed to run inside a Kubernetes cluster managed by the CloudNativePG operator and cannot be tested standalone with docker run.
Technical Considerations
The CloudNativePG PostgreSQL FIPS image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.
CloudNativePG PostgreSQL FIPS built by Minimus:
- Runs as non-root as UID 26 in alignment with the public image.
- Drill down on the version specification tab to see the default user, listening ports, entrypoint, volumes, environment variables, etc.
The Payoff
A hardened, minimal image that will remain more secure for the long run and accrue vulnerabilities at a slower rate.
- See the risk reduction dashboard for a detailed CVE comparison over the past 30 days.
- Review the compliance report to see the default hardening and security configurations for the image.
