help Google Artifact Registry FAQ
What package formats can Google Artifact Registry store?
Artifact Registry supports Docker and OCI images, Maven, npm, Python, Apt, and Yum packages, among other formats. Docker repositories can also hold Helm charts packaged in OCI format.
Is Artifact Registry replacing Google Container Registry?
Yes, Google recommends Artifact Registry as the successor to Container Registry. Artifact Registry adds language and operating-system packages, repository modes, policy controls, and locations beyond the older container-only service.
Can Cloud Run and GKE pull images directly from Artifact Registry?
Yes, Artifact Registry integrates with Google Kubernetes Engine, Cloud Run, and Cloud Build. Access is controlled through Google Cloud IAM, so the runtime service account needs permission to read the repository.
What is the difference between standard, remote, and virtual repositories?
A standard repository stores artifacts uploaded by your organization, while a remote repository caches content from an upstream source such as Docker Hub or Maven Central. A virtual repository exposes several upstream repositories through one endpoint and applies a defined search priority.
