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

• A running Kubernetes cluster (v1.21 or higher is recommended)
• Helm v3.8 or higher for OCI support (Installation instructions)
• kubectl installed and configured

If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions

Add the Helm chart to your local Helm client.

Wait a minute and check that the Pod is up and running:

kubectl -n kyverno get po

Confirm that Minimus images were deployed:

kubectl -n kyverno describe pods | grep Image:

helm upgrade --install policy-reporter kyverno-policy-reporter/policy-reporter \
  -n policy-reporter --create-namespace \

Technical Considerations

The Kyverno-Background-Controller 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.
