Registry v2: Operator-Managed ACP Registry

This section describes Registry v2, the Operator-managed Registry deployed and reconciled by cluster-image-registry-operator. Registry v2 follows the same information architecture as the OpenShift Container Platform 4.21 Registry documentation: overview, Image Registry Operator, setting up and configuring the registry, accessing the registry, and exposing the registry. ACP-specific image management and migration content is added as separate pages.

The legacy Registry documentation remains available under How To for environments that still use the earlier cpaas-system Registry service.

Standard Addresses

Use the Registry v2 internal service address for workloads running in the cluster:

image-registry.image-registry-system.svc:5000

The short service address can be used for compatibility validation when node DNS and trust configuration support it:

image-registry.image-registry-system:5000

Use an external Ingress hostname for developer machines, CI systems, and other clients outside the cluster.
