Google Artifact Registry

What Google Artifact Registry is

Google Artifact Registry provides a central cloud location for storing and managing software packages, Docker images, and build dependencies. It supports formats including Docker, Ruby, Conda, Maven, npm, Python, Apt, Yum, Kubeflow, Go, and generic artifacts. Integration with Cloud Build and other CI/CD tools connects artifact storage with build workflows; stored artifacts can be deployed to Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Run, Compute Engine, and App Engine flexible environment. Repository options include remote repositories that cache upstream dependencies, connector repositories that proxy upstream sources without caching, and virtual repositories that group remote and private repositories behind one endpoint. Identity and Access Management governs credentials and access, and repositories are private by default. New container images trigger automatic vulnerability scanning, with information updated as new vulnerabilities are discovered. Content is encrypted at rest by default, with customer-managed Cloud KMS keys available. The free storage tier applies across projects attached to a billing account and covers 0 to 0.5 gibibyte month; the listed storage plan is free, billed by gibibyte hour.
