Kyverno-Readiness-Checker FIPS Overview
Secure your stack with a hardened, FIPS-validated Kyverno-Readiness-Checker 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.
Kyverno-Readiness-Checker is a built-in post-install readiness probe. After Kyverno is deployed, the chart runs this image to verify that the admission webhook is healthy before the release is marked ready.
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
Kyverno-Readiness-Checker-FIPS can be deployed by updating the Minimus Helm chart to point to FIPS validated images. See the related chart to get started.
Policy Exceptions
If your cluster has existing Kyverno policies that restrict image registries or require specific security contexts, add the following to your values.yaml enable policy exceptions:
enablePolicyException: trueClean Up
Kyverno registers admission webhooks that intercept Kubernetes API calls. Delete the webhook configurations before uninstalling to avoid the process hanging:
kubectl delete mutatingwebhookconfigurations -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=kyverno
kubectl delete validatingwebhookconfigurations -l app.kubernetes.io/instance=kyverno
helm uninstall kyverno -n kyverno
kubectl delete namespace kyvernoTechnical Considerations
The Kyverno-Readiness-Checker FIPS image provided by Minimus is a slim, security-hardened, FIPS-validated alternative to the public image from Docker Hub. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.
Kyverno-Readiness-Checker FIPS built by Minimus:
- Uses a FIPS 140-3 validated cryptographic module, suitable for FedRAMP and other federal compliance frameworks.
- Runs as non-root by default as user 65532 to match 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.
