If your team runs Kubernetes or ships a SaaS product, you know the cycle: every scan dumps hundreds of CVEs from base images you didn't write, security blocks the release, and engineers burn sprints patching other people's code. Chainguard ends that cycle — minimal container images rebuilt from source daily, shipping with zero known CVEs, full SBOMs and SLSA L3 build provenance. Customers report a 97.6% average reduction in CVEs and ~85% smaller attack surface, with critical CVEs remediated in an average of 20 hours under SLA.
Invitty brings Chainguard to Indian engineering teams — local procurement in INR with GST invoicing, licensing guidance, migration support from Docker Hub/Alpine/Debian base images, and integration with your existing scanners and registries. Trusted globally by OpenAI, Snowflake, Canva, Snap and Elastic; now available with a partner next door in Chennai.

The Chainguard Product Line
Who needs Chainguard — and why now
SaaS companies: enterprise customers now demand zero-CVE reports and SBOMs in security reviews — Chainguard turns that from a quarter-long project into a base-image swap. DevOps/platform teams: stop maintaining golden images by hand; Chainguard rebuilds and patches daily so your paved road stays paved. Kubernetes shops: minimal distroless-style images cut image size, cold-start time and attack surface across every cluster.
The math is compelling: organisations save an estimated 1,000+ engineering hours per year per image they no longer harden and patch themselves. If your team spends even one sprint a quarter on CVE triage, Chainguard typically pays for itself. Share your image list and we'll prepare a pilot plan with pricing.
What's in the Chainguard Catalog
The directory at images.chainguard.dev currently spans 2,479 projects, 257,000+ versions and 510,000+ images — rebuilt from source daily. Whatever your stack runs on, there's almost certainly a hardened drop-in for it:
| Category | Popular images |
|---|---|
| Languages & runtimes | Python, Node, Go, Ruby, Rust, Bun, JDK/JRE (OpenJDK & Adoptium), .NET ASP.NET runtime |
| Web servers & proxies | nginx, Apache httpd, Envoy, OpenResty, HAProxy, ingress-nginx |
| Databases & data | MySQL, MariaDB, ClickHouse, MinIO, RabbitMQ, pgAdmin, SeaweedFS |
| Kubernetes & observability | Prometheus, Grafana Alloy, Jaeger, Fluentd, Falco, Calico, Linkerd, Velero, Trivy, kube-logging |
| CI/CD & DevOps | Jenkins, GitLab images, Argo Workflows, Tekton, docker-compose, k6, Crossplane, step-cli |
| AI/ML | Kubeflow components, AI category images for model serving and pipelines |
- Free tier: core developer images (Go, Node, Python, Ruby, Rust, nginx, JDK/JRE, ASP.NET) are free to use — start today, zero cost
- FIPS variants: FIPS-validated builds of hundreds of images for regulated environments (banking, government, defence)
- Helm charts: guarded charts so the whole deployment, not just the container, is secured
A real number from Chainguard's own comparison tool: replacing just five common base images (Go, Node, Python, Ruby, Rust) with their hardened equivalents eliminates ~2,517 known vulnerabilities — a 99.84% reduction.
Chainguard Libraries — beyond containers
The npm and PyPI ecosystems have been hit repeatedly by supply-chain attacks — malicious packages typosquatting popular names or hijacking maintainer accounts. Chainguard Libraries applies the same build-from-source model to Java, Python and JavaScript dependencies: every library in the guarded catalog is rebuilt from verified source in Chainguard's SLSA L3 factory, so a poisoned package on a public registry never reaches your build. Canva uses exactly this to shield its engineering org from npm/PyPI malware. If you ship software, your dependency tree is your biggest blind spot — this closes it.
Use Cases — where Chainguard pays for itself
SaaS passing enterprise security reviews
Your prospect's security team demands a clean vulnerability report and SBOMs. Instead of weeks of patching theatre before every deal, your scanner report shows near-zero CVEs by default — reviews that took quarters close in days.
DevOps golden image programs
Platform teams maintaining in-house hardened base images spend ~1,000 engineering hours per image per year on patching and rebuilds. Chainguard does that daily, automatically — your paved road stays paved without the toll.
Kubernetes attack-surface reduction
Minimal images contain no shell, no package manager, nothing an attacker can live off. ~85% smaller attack surface, smaller image pulls, faster pod starts — across every node in every cluster.
Compliance: SOC 2, PCI DSS, FIPS
Auditors want evidence of vulnerability management and software provenance. Signed images, SBOMs and SLSA L3 attestation satisfy SOC 2 and PCI requirements out of the box; FIPS image variants cover regulated and government workloads.
CVE fire-drills, ended
Next Log4Shell-class event: instead of an all-hands weekend hunting affected images, you pull the patched Chainguard build — critical CVEs are remediated upstream in ~20 hours under SLA, with the fix traceable in the advisory feed.
AI workloads, safely
AI teams pull experimental images and packages constantly — a supply-chain risk multiplier. Hardened AI/ML images (Kubeflow and model-serving stacks) plus guarded libraries keep velocity without inheriting the ecosystem's malware.
Serving DevOps & SaaS Teams Across All of India
Chainguard adoption is cloud-native work — we deliver it remotely to any city in India: Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Pune, Chennai, Gurgaon, Noida, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Kochi, Coimbatore, Trivandrum, Indore, Jaipur and beyond. Pilots, Dockerfile migration, CI integration and licensing are all handled over screen-share and your Git workflow, with on-site workshops available in South India. Wherever your engineering team sits, you get the same INR billing, GST invoicing and same-day responses.
How adoption works with Invitty
Share your base-image list (or a scanner export). We map each to its Chainguard equivalent and project your before/after CVE count.
Swap base images on 2–3 services using the free tier where possible. Validate builds in CI, measure the scanner-report drop.
Right-sized subscription for the images you actually use — INR billing, GST invoice, procurement handled locally by us in Chennai.
Phased migration across services with Dockerfile conversion help, registry/CI integration, and our team as first-line support.
