All Gloo Platform Helm charts are packaged and signed with a key pair. During the signing process, a provenance record is created and stored alongside each packaged Helm chart. Before you install or update a Helm chart in your environment, you can use the public signature key and provenance record to verify the integrity and origin of a Helm chart.

Before you begin

Install GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) to read the signature key and perform the validation and verification of your Helm chart. For example in macOS, you can run brew install gpg to install the tool.

Verify Gloo Platform Helm charts

  1. Add and update the Helm repository for Gloo Platform.

      helm repo add gloo-platform https://storage.googleapis.com/gloo-platform/helm-charts
helm repo update

  2. Download the Helm charts to your local machine.

      helm pull gloo-platform/gloo-platform --version 2.5.12 --prov
helm pull gloo-platform/gloo-platform-crds --version 2.5.12 --prov

  3. Get the public signature key that you use to verify the Helm chart.

      curl -0L https://storage.googleapis.com/gloo-platform/helm-charts/signing.pub.asc > signing.pub.asc

  4. Import the signature into gpg.

      gpg --import signing.pub.asc

  5. Convert the key into a format that Helm supports.

      gpg --export > ~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg

  6. Verify the Helm chart signature. If the verification fails, the Helm chart that you downloaded might be tampered. Remove and re-add your Helm repositories, and pull the latest Helm chart versions. Then, validate the signature again.

      helm verify gloo-platform-2.5.12.tgz
helm verify gloo-platform-crds-2.5.12.tgz
