When we migrated all cilium images to a FIPS base in #600 we had to use a full ubuntu base image everywhere because we didn't have a FIPS distroless base image. This means that the operator and clustermesh images moved from a distroless base to an ubuntu base in order to have a FIPS base.
Now that we have FIPS distroless images, we can move the operator and clustermesh images back to a distroless base without loosing any FIPSiness.
Additional goodies:
root
variant of the distroless fips image, meaning we can drop aUSER root
modification from the operator Dockerfile (see bfee99c)TARGET
argument of thecilium-runtime
image build job to drop a a datadog patch from that dockerfileUSER root
line in the runtime image dockerfile, we can get rid of it when we have a root variant of the ubuntu FIPS GBI image (asked about it here)I tested that the cilium-runtime built with target
rootfs
properly preserves the labels of its underlying base image:
