With a strong focus on rapid CVE remediation and a small attack surface, Chainguard VMs are purpose-built to service the target workload and include only the packages that are essential for its operation. Built in the Chainguard Factory, Chainguard VMs benefit from a highly automated, secure-by-design build pipeline that ensures consistent, reproducible artifacts.https://deploy-preview-3155--ornate-narwhal-088216.netlify.app/chainguard/vms/compliance-features/Thu, 20 Nov 2025 08:04:00 +0000https://deploy-preview-3155--ornate-narwhal-088216.netlify.app/chainguard/vms/compliance-features/Chainguard VMs provide pre-hardened, audit-ready Linux virtual machine images designed for regulated and high-assurance environments (federal, defense, healthcare, financial services, and suppliers to those sectors). These images combine the following features: Feature Description FIPS 140-3 validated cryptography NIST CMVP-validated software modules and SP 800-90B compliant entropy, with runtime guardrails blocking non-FIPS crypto. STIG hardening Pre-configured to DISA STIG controls, delivered as production-ready images. CIS benchmark compliance CIS Level 1 hardened variants, hybrid STIG + CIS baseline.https://deploy-preview-3155--ornate-narwhal-088216.netlify.app/chainguard/vms/faq/Tue, 21 Oct 2025 08:04:00 +0000https://deploy-preview-3155--ornate-narwhal-088216.netlify.app/chainguard/vms/faq/Which platforms and hypervisors are Chainguard VMs available for? Chainguard VMs are available for AWS (EC2 and ECS/EKS), GCP (Compute Engine), and Azure Compute cloud environments, and also for on-prem solutions based on KVM such as QEmu, VMWare, Nutanix, among others. What kinds of VMs are currently available? As part of our initial offering, we’re providing Container Host VMs, Base VMs, and Application VMs. This list should expand as we fine tune the product based on customer feedback.
