New Chainguard VMs aim to reduce engineering overhead in container host environments
Summary
Chainguard VMs have been designed from the get-go to help enterprises reduce costly engineering toil associated with container host maintenance and establish a secure foundation for faster development. “Our customers need solutions that reduce vulnerabilities at every layer of their modern software deployment stack,” said co-founder and Chief Executive Dan Lorenc. The VMs help engineering teams reduce overhead by eliminating the need for constant CVE triage and remediation, allowing them to focus on more strategic tasks. For compliance teams, the zero-CVE design streamlines adherence to frameworks like FedRAMP by removing vulnerabilities at the VM level. Chainguard also ensures continuous upgrades by rebuilding images from the source to deliver the latest patches and features without disruptive migrations.
