Red Hat Universal Base Images

In addition to the standard Kong Mesh images built on Alpine Linux, Kong Mesh also ships with images based on the Red Hat Universal Base Image (UBI).

Kong Mesh UBI images are distributed with all standard images, but with the ubi- prefix:

• kuma-dp UBI image
• kuma-cp UBI image
• kumactl UBI image
• kuma-init UBI image
• kuma-prometheus-sd UBI image

The base UBI variant for all images is ubi-minimal.

To use UBI images, you need to explicitly pass them when the Control Plane is installed:

kumactl install control plane \
  --control-plane-repository=ubi-kuma-cp \
  --dataplane-init-repository=ubi-kuma-init \
  --dataplane-repository=ubi-kuma-dp

helm install kong-mesh \
  --namespace kong-mesh-system \
  --set kuma.controlPlane.image.repository=ubi-kuma-cp \
  --set kuma.dataPlane.image.repository=ubi-kuma-dp \
  --set kuma.dataPlane.image.repository=ubi-kuma-dp \
  --set kuma.dataPlane.initImage.repository=ubi-kuma-dp \
  --set kuma.kumactl.image.repository=ubi-kumactl \
