Kyverno-Reports-Server-FIPS Overview
Secure your stack with a FIPS-validated, Kyverno-Reports-Server-FIPS 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-Reports-Server is a backend service that aggregates and serves policy audit reports generated by Kyverno policy engine deployments. It collects policy violation and compliance data from Kubernetes clusters and provides APIs to query, filter, and retrieve detailed reporting information about policy enforcement activities. The server enables centralized visibility into policy compliance status across managed clusters.
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
Reports Server is a standalone component, separate from the main Kyverno installation. Kyverno's built-in reports controller generates PolicyReports in-cluster, while the Reports Server provides an external API to aggregate and query them. It requires Kyverno's PolicyReport CRDs to be installed first and ships under its own Helm chart, independent of the main kyverno/kyverno chart.
Prerequisites
- A running Kubernetes cluster (v1.21 or higher is recommended)
- Helm v3.8 or higher (Installation instructions)
kubectlinstalled and configured- Kyverno installed in the cluster (provides the PolicyReport CRDs that Reports Server aggregates)
Step 1 - Add the Helm Repository
helm repo add reports-server https://kyverno.github.io/reports-server
helm repo updateStep 2 - Deploy via Helm
helm upgrade --install reports-server reports-server/reports-server \
--set image.registry=reg.mini.dev \
--set image.repository=kyverno-reports-server-fips \
--set image.tag=latest \
-n reports-server \
--create-namespace \
--waitWait a moment and check that the Pod is up and running:
kubectl -n reports-server get poConfirm that the Minimus image was deployed:
kubectl -n reports-server describe pods | grep Image:Clean Up
helm uninstall reports-server -n reports-serverTechnical Considerations
The Kyverno-Reports-Server-FIPS 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.
Kyverno-Reports-Server-FIPS built by Minimus:
- Runs as non-root by default for a security-first approach that protects against privilege escalation attacks.
- 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.
