Learning Labs: Chainguard Libraries

Using Chainguard Containers is a strong first step in securing your application deployments. But pulling in external dependencies can reintroduce supply chain risk. Chainguard Libraries for Java addresses this by building open source artifacts within the secure Chainguard Factory — reducing exposure to anonymous upstream sources.In this Learning Lab, Manfred Moser, Principal DevRel Engineer at Chainguard and contributor to Apache Maven, Trino, and more, walks through the core concepts and how to set up Chainguard Libraries for Java in your organization.What You’ll LearnIntroduction of fundamental concepts for Chainguard Libraries:Libraries, packages, package managers, dependencies, transitive dependencies, registries, repositories, repository managersOverview of relevant aspects for Java developersBuild tools, Maven Central, Maven repository format, packagesDemonstration of Chainguard Libraries for Java Getting accessConfiguring a repository manager and build toolRunning first example application buildsObserving with Chainguard Libraries for Java use
