Your registry connects your CI pipeline to your deployment. It is not only for storage.

Use these tips for better deployments:

• Tagging: Stop using the latest tag for production. It is unclear. It stops rollbacks. Use git commit SHAs or version numbers.
• Caching: Use registry caching to speed up builds. Proxy upstream images. This lowers build times and costs.
• Scanning: Scan images before production. Use built-in tools. Block images with high risks. Put scanning in your CI pipeline.
• Optimization: Make images small. Use multi-stage builds. Use distroless base images. Small images have fewer risks. They pull faster.
• Signing: Sign images with Cosign. This proves the image is from your pipeline. Verify signatures before you deploy.
• Retention: Set retention policies. Keep only the newest images. Delete old ones. This saves money.
