Envoy Overview

Secure your stack with a hardened Envoy 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.

Envoy is used for advanced traffic management for cloud-native applications and microservices architectures. Envoy provides dynamic service discovery, load balancing, retries, circuit breaking, and fine-grained observability.

Try It Out

Take the Minimus Envoy image for a test run:

docker run -it --rm \
-p 10000:10000 \
-v ./envoy.yaml:/etc/envoy/envoy.yaml \
reg.mini.dev/envoy

You will need to ensure that the Envoy user can read the mounted file either by ensuring the correct permissions on the file or making it world-readable.

Technical Considerations

The Envoy 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.

Envoy 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.
