Chainguard Announces Chainguard Containers Availability in AWS Marketplace for Use in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region

Availability in AWS Marketplace for use in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region signals company's commitment to safer software development for government organizations amid a growing threat landscape

KIRKLAND, Wash., Sept. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Chainguard, the trusted foundation for software development and deployment, today announced the availability of Chainguard Containers in AWS Marketplace, a digital catalog that helps you find, buy, deploy, and manage software, data products, and professional services from thousands of vendors. Now, government agencies operating in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region can seamlessly deploy Chainguard Containers, accelerating secure software adoption across workloads.

U.S. government agencies rely on open-source software (OSS) for daily operations and if exploited, a single flaw in OSS can have a ripple effect across federal systems. Chainguard Containers are hardened, continuously updated container images that contain zero Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) and are rebuilt from source daily. With a catalog of more than 1,700 images, including over 600 FIPS-compliant images, Chainguard Containers significantly reduces organizations' attack surface and helps both simplify and maintain compliance with critical federal frameworks like FedRAMP. By adopting Chainguard's inherently secure software, engineers can spend less time patching vulnerabilities and more time building high-impact software to achieve their missions. 

"Software supply chain attacks are among the most pressing cybersecurity risks facing the public sector today," said Ken Melero, RVP of Public Sector, Chainguard. "Agencies can't afford to rely on outdated or vulnerable software components when national security is on the line. By making Chainguard Containers available in AWS Marketplace for use in the AWS GovCloud (US) Region, we're making it easier for government organizations to eliminate critical vulnerabilities before they can even be exploited, build and ship software that is secure-by-default, and keep building trust with stakeholders." 

This milestone builds upon Chainguard's recent listing of its Containers product in the AWS Marketplace for the U.S. Intelligence Community (ICMP), underscoring the company's growing momentum in the public sector and reinforcing its mission to build secure software for all organizations from the ground up.
