Comment on Show HN: Container registry on a budget using AWS S3

Comments

What registry features do you lose doing it this way? a normal registry isn't just serving dumb files is it? It is essentially an API that can find images by tags, sha256 etc against a backend. It manages lifecycling of things as they are replaced etc.

I imagine you could live without or substitute some of these features but are there any showstoppers?

Perhaps container vulnerability scanning? That’s probably a showstopper for most large customers.

You could probably bridge most or all of these with lambdas/workers
