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

For a quick test, print the help menu:

docker run --rm \
reg.mini.dev/prometheus-operator-fips --help

• A running Kubernetes cluster (v1.21 or higher is recommended)
• Helm v3.8 or higher for OCI support (Installation instructions)
• kubectl installed and configured

If you have a cluster to work with, skip this step. Otherwise, start a Minikube cluster. Deployment instructions

Add the official Helm chart repository to your local Helm client.

helm repo add prometheus-community https://prometheus-community.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update

helm install prometheus-stack prometheus-community/kube-prometheus-stack \
  -n monitoring \
  --create-namespace \
  --wait \
  --set=prometheusOperator.image.registry=reg.mini.dev \
  --set=prometheusOperator.image.repository=prometheus-operator-fips \
  --set=prometheusOperator.image.tag=latest \

Check that all Pods are up and running:

kubectl get pods -n monitoring

Deploy the example-app and create a PodMonitor:

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: example-app
spec:
  replicas: 3
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: example-app
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: example-app
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: example-app
        image: ghcr.io/rhobs/prometheus-example-app:0.4.2
        ports:
        - name: web
          containerPort: 8080
---
apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: PodMonitor
metadata:
  name: example-app
  labels:
    release: prometheus-stack # Must be identical to the Helm release above
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: example-app
  podMetricsEndpoints:
  - port: web
    path: /metrics
EOF

Note that this example uses ghcr.io/rhobs/prometheus-example-app:0.4.2 instead of the more common quay.io/brancz/prometheus-example-app:v0.5.0 because the latter is only compiled for amd64 (ref).

kubectl port-forward -n monitoring svc/prometheus-stack-kube-prom-prometheus 9090:9090

Check the health of the target:

curl -sS --fail-with-body "http://127.0.0.1:9090/api/v1/targets" | \
  jq -r '.data.activeTargets[] | select(.labels.container == "example-app")'

Technical Considerations

The Prometheus-Operator-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.
