Kgateway-Envoy-Wrapper-FIPS Overview

Secure your stack with a FIPS-validated, hardened Kgateway-Envoy-Wrapper 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.

Kgateway-Envoy-Wrapper is the data-plane image that kgateway, a Kubernetes Gateway API and AI gateway implementation, deploys to route and manage traffic for every gateway it manages. It bundles the Envoy proxy with kgateway's built-in traffic-transformation module and startup handling, and platform teams can also reference it directly in a GatewayParameters resource to run custom Envoy filters without kgateway's controller reverting the change on reconciliation. 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.

Try It Out

Take the Minimus Kgateway-Envoy-Wrapper image for a test run by mounting an Envoy bootstrap configuration file:

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

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

Technical Considerations

The Kgateway-Envoy-Wrapper-FIPS image provided by Minimus is a FIPS-validated, slim, security-hardened alternative to the public image.

Kgateway-Envoy-Wrapper-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.
