Transitioning from Container Registry provides an overview of how to use Artifact Registry instead of Container Registry in a backwards-compatible wayĬopying images from Container Registry guide you to move container images from an existing repository to an Artifact Registry repository To help, we’ve prepared the following guides: If you already use Container Registry, you can take advantage of all the current and upcoming features of container image storage with Artifact Registry by migrating to it. This means that it can optionally use Container Analysis to scan your container images for vulnerabilities as they’re uploaded to Artifact Registry, and works directly with Binary Authorization to secure your deployments. ![]() Part of a secure supply chainĪrtifact Registry was designed from the ground up to integrate into our suite of secure supply chain products. Although per unit storage costs are higher for Artifact Registry, optimizing the locations of your repositories to be hosted in the same region where they are used can result in cost savings, because any network traffic within the same region is not considered egress and is thus free. While Artifact Registry’s pricing is still based on a combination of network egress and storage usage, support for regional repositories means that you can choose in what region to host your container repositories. A pricing model that respects your region However, with Artifact Registry’s regional support, you can create a repository directly in the Sydney data center. In Container Registry, you’re limited to “multi-regions”: for example, the closest multi-region for Australia is Asia. Repositories in the region of your choiceĪrtifact Registry supports the creation of regional repositories, which allows you to put your artifacts and data directly in the location that they'll be used, allowing for higher availability and speed. This enables you to scope permissions as granularly as possible, for example to specific regions or environments as necessary. Unlike Container Registry, this allows you to control access on a per-repository basis, rather than all images stored in a project. ![]() A more granular permission model with Cloud IAMĪrtifact Registry comes with fine-grained access control via Cloud IAM. In addition, you can manage them all from a single, unified interface. ![]() ![]() A unified control plane for container, OS and language repositoriesĪrtifact Registry includes more than just container images: as a developer, you can store multiple artifact formats, including OS packages for Debian and RPM, as well as language packages for popular languages like Python, Java, and Node. While Container Registry is still available and will continue to be supported as a Google Enterprise API, going forward new features will only be available in Artifact Registry, and Container Registry will only receive critical security fixes.īelow, we’ll highlight the key improvements Artifact Registry provides over Container Registry, as well as the steps to start using it today. That’s why we created Artifact Registry, a fully-managed service with support for both container images and non-container artifacts.Īrtifact Registry improves and extends upon the existing capabilities of Container Registry, such as customer-managed encryption keys, VPC-SC support, Pub/Sub notifications, and more, providing a foundation for major upgrades in security, scalability and control. Enterprise application teams need to manage more than just containers in their software supply chain.
