Intel-GPU-Plugin-FIPS Overview
Secure your stack with a FIPS-validated, hardened Intel-GPU-Plugin 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.
Intel GPU Plugin lets Kubernetes discover Intel GPUs on cluster nodes and schedule GPU-dependent workloads onto them, so pods that need hardware acceleration for tasks like media transcoding, AI inference, or compute offload can request a GPU the same way they request CPU or memory. It runs as a DaemonSet that reports available Intel GPU devices to the kubelet, so platform teams don't have to manually track which nodes have GPUs when scheduling these workloads. Use this image when you need to meet the requirements for FIPS-validated cryptographic protection.
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.
Technical Considerations
The Intel-GPU-Plugin-FIPS image provided by Minimus is a FIPS-validated, slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image from Docker Hub. The images are largely interchangeable, with a few differences as noted below.
Intel-GPU-Plugin-FIPS built by Minimus:
- Runs as root to support required functions in alignment with 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.
