Container Registry

Introduction

Container Registry is a service for storing private container images. It provides a subset of features provided by Artifact Registry, a universal repository manager and the recommended service for managing container images and other artifacts .

Artifact

A service for storing and managing artifacts in private repositories, including container images, and Helm charts.

Artifact Registry extends the capabilities of Container Registry. In addition to supporting multiple artifact formats, the service provides additional benefits such as:

Ability to create multiple discrete repositories in the same region.

Working with your images

Many people use Docker Hub as a central registry for storing public Docker images, but to control access to your images you need to use a private registry such as Container Registry.

You can access the registry through secure HTTPS endpoints, which allow you to push, pull, and manage images from any system.

Create a Secret For Container Registry

Secrets

A Secret is an object that contains a small amount of sensitive data such as a password, a token, or a key. Such information might otherwise be put in a Pod specification or in a container image. Using a Secret means that you don’t need to include confidential data in your application code.

Create Secrets

kubectl create secret docker-registry name-secrets \
--docker-username=username \
--docker-password=pass1234 \
--docker-server=registry.e2enetworks.net

Create a Pod that Uses your Secret

cat > private-reg-pod-example.yaml << EOF
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  name: node-hello
spec:
  containers:
  - name: node-hello-container
    image: registry.e2enetworks.net/vipin-repo/node-hello@sha256:bd333665069e66b11dbb76444ac114a1e0a65ace459684a5616c0429aa4bf519
