Container Registry

Introduction​

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

Artifact​

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

Vulnerability​

A vulnerability scan in a container registry is a security process that involves examining container images stored in the registry for known vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities could be related to software dependencies, libraries, or other components within the container image that might have security flaws.

Vulnerability Scan

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 included 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
    cat > private-reg-pod-example.yaml << EOF
