Preface
Red Hat Quay is an enterprise-quality container registry. Use Red Hat Quay to build and store container images, then make them available to deploy across your enterprise.
The Red Hat Quay Operator provides a simple method to deploy and manage Red Hat Quay on an OpenShift cluster.
As of Red Hat Quay 3.4.0, the Operator has been completely re-written to provide an improved out of the box experience as well as support for more Day 2 operations. As a result the new Operator is simpler to use and is more opinionated. The key differences from earlier versions of the Operator are:
-
The
QuayEcosystemcustom resource has been replaced with theQuayRegistrycustom resource - The default installation options produces a fully supported Quay environment with all managed dependencies (database, caches, object storage, etc) supported for production use (some components may not be highly available)
- A new robust validation library for Quay’s configuration which is shared by the Quay application and config tool for consistency
-
Object storage can now be managed by the Operator using the
ObjectBucketClaimKubernetes API (Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation can be used to provide a supported implementation of this API on OpenShift) - Customization of the container images used by deployed pods for testing and development scenarios
