Google Artifact Registry

We'll be using Google Artifact Registry to store our Docker images. It's similar to Docker Hub, but it's private and it's hosted on GCP.

Whenever we create a new version of Notely, we'll build it into a new Docker image version and push that to Artifact Registry.

Assignment

Search for and enable the Cloud Build API.
Within Artifact Registry in the GCP console, enable the Artifact Registry API.
Click Create Repository:
- Name: notely-ar-repo
- Format: Docker
- Mode: Standard
- Location type: Region
- Region for deployment: us-central1
- Leave "Google-managed encryption key" selected
- Disable vulnerability scanning if the option appears; we don't need paid scans for this course

The image hosting region from earlier, and service deployment region we are targeting now, may not necessarily be the same region. Cloud providers provide flexibility with availability zones, so that engineers can pick and choose the most optimal regions for your system.

Build and push the Docker image to Artifact Registry:

gcloud builds submit --tag REGION-docker.pkg.dev/PROJECT_ID/REPOSITORY/IMAGE:TAG .

Run and submit the CLI tests from the root of your repo.

You can copy/paste your actual value for the tag from your Artifact Registry repo page in the GCP console.

If the gcloud command responds with an error about permissions, simply check that the image was uploaded to the new registry. We will take care of permissions in a future step.
