SLE BCI 16 FIPS-140-3 Micro: Suitable for deploying static binaries

RedistributableSupport Level SLSA Provenance: Available

Description

The bci-micro image includes the RPM database, but not the RPM package manager. This means that the image is smaller than bci-minimal. The primary use case for the image is deploying static binaries produced externally or during multi-stage builds.

This base container image is configured with FIPS mode enabled by default, but does not include any certified binaries.

Usage

As there is no straightforward way to install additional dependencies inside the container image, we recommend deploying a project using the bci-micro image only when the final build artifact bundles all dependencies and needs no further installation of packages.

Example using a Go application:

FROM registry.suse.com/bci/golang:stable as build

WORKDIR /app

RUN go install github.com/go-training/helloworld@latest

# Create an image to bundle the app
FROM registry.suse.com/bci/bci-micro-fips:16.0

COPY --from=build /go/bin/helloworld /usr/local/bin/helloworld

CMD ["/usr/local/bin/helloworld"]
