K6 Overview
Secure your stack with a hardened K6 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.
K6 is an open-source load testing tool designed for testing the performance and reliability of APIs, microservices, and websites. It uses Go for execution and JavaScript for writing test scripts, enabling developers to define complex load scenarios with minimal code. K6 measures metrics like response times, throughput, and error rates under various load conditions to identify performance bottlenecks.
Technical Considerations
The K6 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.
K6 built by Minimus:
- 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.
