NGINX Gateway Fabric control plane: the F5/NGINX Gateway API implementation. Watches GatewayClass, Gateway, HTTPRoute and its own gateway.nginx.org policy CRDs, provisions an nginx Deployment per Gateway, and pushes generated config to the nginx-agent inside it over gRPC. One binary covers three roles the chart uses -- controller, generate-certs, and the initialize step that runs as the init container of every data-plane pod. Pairs with the nginx-gateway-fabric-nginx data plane, which it version-locks to itself.

Verify the supply chain

This image is cosign-signed and carries an SPDX SBOM and a SLSA build-provenance attestation on the same digest. Check all three yourself:

# 1. signature — built and signed by QuenchWorks CI
cosign verify ghcr.io/quenchworks/images/nginx-gateway-fabric:2.7.2 \
  --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github.com/quenchworks/.+' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com

# 2. SLSA build provenance — which workflow built it, from what
cosign verify-attestation --type https://slsa.dev/provenance/v1 ghcr.io/quenchworks/images/nginx-gateway-fabric:2.7.2 \
  --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github.com/quenchworks/.+' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com

# 3. SPDX SBOM — the package inventory
cosign verify-attestation --type https://spdx.dev/Document/v2.3 ghcr.io/quenchworks/images/nginx-gateway-fabric:2.7.2 \
  --certificate-identity-regexp 'https://github.com/quenchworks/.+' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com

See the SBOM & provenance guide for reading the SBOM and using these checks in CI.

Transparency

Every image carries its SBOM and provenance as attestations on the same digest, publicly verifiable with the commands above (they check the package and the Sigstore transparency log, Rekor).
