How to Use Chainguard iamguarded Helm Charts

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that simplifies the installation and management of applications by automating the creation of Kubernetes resources. Helm charts are reusable, versioned packages that define a collection of Kubernetes resources required to run an application or service. You use Helm to define, install, and perform upgrades to your applications on Kubernetes.

Chainguard offers this limited iamguarded set of Helm charts to go with a set of Chainguard-created containers labeled as iamguarded, designed specifically to support organizations migrating off of Bitnami. The iamguarded charts are forked from upstream Bitnami charts, but now configured out-of-the box for use with Chainguard’s hardened container images. These charts only receive edits necessary to make them work with Chainguard container images and retain the intended functionality of the originals they are based on. Because the iamguarded charts are forks, they may be susceptible to breaking changes introduced by the upstream. In such cases, customers should plan to transition to a community-provided alternative (or an equivalent one from Chainguard) where possible.
