Upgrade to Artifact Registry from Container Registry

[jasonheaney]

Hello Everyone,

I received an email stating 

Container Registry will be phased out, starting May 15, 2024. Please review the options below for how to upgrade your projects to Artifact Registry

I am wondering how this is going to affect what we have in our Container Registry, which is a SCIM Bridge for 1Password.   I guess because I received the email that we need to migrate over to the Artifact registry.   We have no images in the Container Registry.    I am new to all of this so any insight on this topic would be helpful. I did read the article but a little confused on it. 

Thank you

Hi @jasonheaney ,

As Container Registry will be  deprecated on May 15, 2023 it will be superseded by Artifact Registry. 

This change will affect:

• Newly created projects.
• Existing projects where you have not pushed an image to Container Registry.

Container Registry will remain available in projects if you have enabled the Container Registry API or pushed an image to a registry host in the project before May 15, 2024.

You can check the feature comparison  of Container and Artifact Registry on this link.
Given that you have no image or have not pushed any image on your Container Registry, I'd suggest you transition to Artifact Registry. You can check this documentation for more info with regards to the transition from GCR.

Hello @anjelisa 

Sorry for the late reply but I didn't receive any emails about your reply. Is this why our SCIM Bridge for 1password is showing this now?

If you have no images in Container Registry, the Container Registry deprecation is unlikely to affect you, but you can prevent future Container Registry usage by running this command on the project: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/gcloud/reference/artifacts/settings/enable-upgrade-redirection

After that, anything that would use Container Registry will use Artifact Registry instead. This is how all new projects will behave starting in 2024
