Packaging of software into containers is standard industry practice, enabling complete portability of applications. A container has everything your software needs to run, including code, libraries, and any other dependencies. Registries are a secure way to store and share container images, and with the CloudBees platform, you can build and publish container images.
Preconfigure containers in the CloudBees platform, to create a curated list of containers that team members can choose from when configuring their workflows. Selecting containers from the UI ensures that users enter the container information correctly in their workflow.
Use the CloudBees platform Kaniko action to publish to any of the following container registries:
-
Amazon Web Services Elastic Container Registry (ECR)
-
Docker Hub
-
Google Cloud Platform Artifact Registry
-
Harbor
-
JFrog Artifactory
