✨ Today Chainguard releases dedicated STIG for FIPS-Ready Chainguard Images. Best part of this launch is knowing how beneficial this feature is for our customers: "With Chainguard STIG-ready Images, our platform engineers are able to save months of engineering effort when it comes to audit and compliance readiness. A process that was once grueling and toilsome now just takes a couple of minutes," said Shaun McDonnell, Director of Platform Engineering at Shift5. More details in the comments.
This is huge. Finally a vendor that provides pre STIG'd images that both supports and maintains them. The overhead that companies incur for this work is massive. Often its duplicated across product teams for the same applications and containers. This is way beyond what Ironbank does which is typically containers based on OS images. The surface area in these images are still huge simply due to the fact that the base image was designed for hardware and VMs. They're not stripped like container images should be. That burden still fell on the engineers who use those images.
It's been so great working with everyone at Chainguard! 💪
Amazing strides yet again 🐙
