Moving images for cpd-cli plug-ins to a private container
registry
Several of the cpd-cli plug-ins use images. If your cluster
pulls images from a private container registry or if your cluster is in a restricted network, you
can push the images to the private container registry so that users can run the cpd-cli commands against the cluster.
- Who needs to complete this task?
- A user who has permissions to push images to the private container registry must complete this task.
- When do you need to complete this task?
- Complete this task if your cluster is in a restricted network or if your security policies
require all images to be pulled from a private container registry.
You can skip this task if your workstations can connect to the public internet and to the cluster at the same time.
