ECK Operator Overview
Secure your stack with a hardened ECK Operator image freshly-built by Minimus. Minimus images always include the most up-to-date package version for all packages and dependencies contained in the image.
Use the ECK (Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes) Operator to run Elasticsearch, Kibana, and other Elastic Stack components on Kubernetes. ECK Operator greatly simplifies deployment and operation of the Elastic Stack on Kubernetes clusters.
Try It Out
Take the Minimus ECK Operator image for a test run with Helm.
First, add the Elastic Helm chart repository to your Helm client and update the local repository index:
helm repo add elastic https://helm.elastic.co
helm repo updateDeploy the ECK Operator container image from Minimus:
helm install elastic-operator elastic/eck-operator \
--namespace elastic-system \
--create-namespace \
--set=image.repository=reg.mini.dev/eck-operator \
--set=image.tag=latestWait for the pod to become ready:
kubectl wait -n elastic-system \
--for=condition=Ready pod \
-l app.kubernetes.io/name=elastic-operator \
--timeout=60sYou are now ready to deploy an Elasticsearch cluster using the official guide.
Technical Considerations
The ECK Operator image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image from Docker Hub. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.
ECK Operator built by Minimus:
- Runs as non-root by default as user 1000. By comparison, the public image runs as user 65532.
- 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.
