Version support

Note

: This Chart is still in development and still subject to change the API (values.yaml). Until we reach a 1.0.0 version of the chart we can't guarantee backwards compatibility although we do aim for as much stability as possible.

Dependency	Supported Versions
SPIRE	1.5.3+, 1.6.3+
Helm	3.x
Kubernetes	1.22+

Note

: For Kubernetes, we will officially support the last 3 versions as described in k8s versioning. Any version before the last 3 we will try to support as long it doesn't bring security issues or any big maintenance burden.

Usage

To utilize Spire in your own workloads you should add the following to your workload:

 apiVersion: v1
 kind: Pod
 metadata:
   name: my-app
 spec:
   containers:
     - name: my-app
       image: "my-app:latest"
       imagePullPolicy: Always
+      volumeMounts:
+        - name: spiffe-workload-api
+          mountPath: /spiffe-workload-api
+          readOnly: true
       resources:
         requests:
           cpu: 200m
           memory: 32Mi
         limits:
           cpu: 500m
           memory: 64Mi
+  volumes:
+    - name: spiffe-workload-api
+      csi:
+        driver: "csi.spiffe.io"
+        readOnly: true

Now you can interact with the Spire agent socket from your own application. The socket is mounted on /spiffe-workload-api/spire-agent.sock.
