Loki-Canary-FIPS Overview
Secure your stack with a hardened Loki-Canary-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.
Loki Canary is a standalone app that audits the log-capturing performance of a Grafana Loki cluster.
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
Prerequisites
- A running Kubernetes cluster (v1.21 or higher is recommended)
- Helm v3.8 or higher for OCI support (Installation instructions)
kubectlinstalled and configured
Step 1: Start Cluster
If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions
Step 2: Add Repository to your Local Client
Add the Helm chart to your local Helm client.
helm repo add grafana https://grafana.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo updateStep 3: Create a Local YAML File to Override Chart Defaults
Save the following to a values.yaml file in your project directory:
loki:
useTestSchema: true
image:
registry: reg.mini.dev
repository: loki-fips
tag: latest
storage:
bucketNames:
chunks: chunks
ruler: ruler
admin: admin
lokiCanary:
image:
registry: reg.mini.dev
repository: loki-canary-fips
tag: latestNote that the above configuration will bypass the schema required for persistence and is only for testing purposes.
Step 4: Deploy the Chart
helm upgrade --install loki grafana/loki \
-n loki \
--create-namespace \
-f values.yamlWait a minute and check that the Pod is up and running:
kubectl -n loki get poConfirm that Minimus images were deployed:
kubectl -n loki describe pods | grep Image:Clean Up
Uninstall the chart to delete the namespace and its resources, including Pods, Deployments, Services, Secrets, ConfigMaps, etc.:
helm uninstall loki -n lokiTechnical Considerations
The Loki-Canary-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.
Loki-Canary-FIPS built by Minimus:
- Runs as the non-root user 10001 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.
