US 2025/0061185 A1 · TECHNIQUES FOR CONTAINER REGISTRY CREDENTIALS MANAGEMENT

Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices to support techniques for container registry credentials management are described. An operator executed across a set of clusters may manage credentials for multiple namespaces distributed across multiple clusters. For example, the operator may identify a configuration of a namespace (e.g., detect a creation of a configuration, detect an update to a configuration) and may provision the namespace within the container image registry using an application programming interface (API) call transmitted to the registry. The operator may retrieve one or more credentials associated with the namespace from the container image registry based on an operational mode (e.g., an application mode, an infrastructure mode). The operator may store the one or more credentials to a database associated with the cluster.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

identifying, by an operator, a configuration of a namespace of a plurality of namespaces associated with a registry, wherein the operator is executed on a cluster of a plurality of clusters that are associated with a containerized architecture, the registry being configured to store one or more container images and the plurality of namespaces distributed across the plurality of clusters;
provisioning the namespace within the registry based at least in part on an application programming interface (API) call transmitted to the registry by the operator in accordance with the configuration;
retrieving, by the operator, one or more credentials associated with the namespace from the registry based at least in part on an operational mode of a plurality of operational modes of the operator;
and
storing the one or more credentials to a database associated with the cluster of the plurality of clusters.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code, the code comprising instructions executable by one or more processors to:

identify, by an operator, a configuration of a namespace of a plurality of namespaces associated with a registry, wherein the operator is executed on a cluster of a plurality of clusters that are associated with a containerized architecture, the registry being configured to store one or more container images and the plurality of namespaces distributed across the plurality of clusters;
provision the namespace within the registry based at least in part on an application programming interface (API) call transmitted to the registry by the operator in accordance with the configuration;
retrieve, by the operator, one or more credentials associated with the namespace from the registry based at least in part on an operational mode of a plurality of operational modes of the operator;
and
store the one or more credentials to a database associated with the cluster of the plurality of clusters.
