MANAGEMENT OF A CONTAINER IMAGE REGISTRY IN A VIRTUALIZED COMPUTER SYSTEM

摘要

A container image registry is managed in a virtualized computing system. The container image registry manages container images for deploying containers in a host cluster, the host cluster includes hosts and a virtualization layer executing on hardware platforms of the hosts, and the virtualization layer supports execution of virtual machines (VMs). The method includes: creating a namespace for an orchestration control plane integrated with the virtualization layer, the namespace including constraints for deploying workloads in the VMs; invoking, by a registry service in response to creation of the namespace, a management application programming interface (API) of the container image registry to create a project for the container images; and invoking, by the registry service, the management API of the container image registry to both add members to the project, and assign image registry roles to the members, in response to bindings of users and namespace roles derived from the constraints.
