About this course

This course is designed to make you a Chainguard Container expert. You'll learn about the significance of different versions, how FIPS images work, and a variety of actions you can take such as retrieving a container image's SBOM, comparing different image versions, and using the chainctl command line tool.

Learning objectives

At the end of this course, students will be able to:

  • Identify and explain the key differences between development and production container images, and understand the security implications of using each variant.
  • Retrieve a Chainguard Container's SBOM using the cosign command and understand the information provided in the SBOM, including license details and source code references.
  • Use the Tag History API to compare different builds of Chainguard Containers and understand how to identify differences, such as added or removed vulnerabilities, between container image versions.
  • Understand FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) and how to use FIPS-enabled versions of Chainguard Images to meet compliance requirements, including the use of FIPS-validated cryptography.
  • Use the chainctl command line interface tool to compare two Chainguard Containers, identify added or removed vulnerabilities, and make informed decisions about container image updates and deployments.
