Kiali Operator

Chainguard's redistribution of the Kiali Operator Helm chart, pre-configured with hardened Chainguard Images.

The Kiali Operator installs, manages, and updates Kiali, the management console for the Istio service mesh, through the Kiali custom resource.

Prerequisites

Authentication is required. First, authenticate with Chainguard:

chainctl auth login
chainctl auth configure-docker --pull-token --save
helm registry login cgr.dev

Create an image pull secret:

kubectl create secret docker-registry cgr-pull-secret \
  --docker-server=cgr.dev \
  --docker-username="$(echo cgr.dev | docker-credential-cgr get | jq -r '.Username')" \
  --docker-password="$(echo cgr.dev | docker-credential-cgr get | jq -r '.Secret')" \
  --namespace kiali-operator

Installation

helm install kiali-operator oci://cgr.dev/ORGANIZATION/charts/kiali-operator \
  --namespace kiali-operator \
  --create-namespace \
  --set image.pullSecrets[0]=cgr-pull-secret

Once the operator is running, create a Kiali custom resource to deploy Kiali.
