How to Integrate Kubernetes with a Docker Registry

Typically, the applications you deploy into a Kubernetes cluster are packaged as container images. In a Kubernetes environment of any scale, you may have dozens, hundreds or even thousands of different container images to work with. Kubernetes itself doesn’t manage those images for you.

Installing and Managing Kubernetes Registries

Kubernetes does many things: It schedules applications on nodes, monitors node health, attempts to resolve application issues automatically and much more. But one thing Kubernetes doesn’t do natively is provide a registry for hosting container images (which contain the applications you want to deploy on Kubernetes). Instead, Kubernetes expects you to use an external solution…
