Starting with VMware Cloud Director 10.6, if you are using a password-protected registry, you can create and manage registry credentials for content hub operators in your organization.

You can add credentials for any container registry that your organization works with. Once you create a registry credentials entry, Kubernetes operators can use these credentials to pull images from the private container image registries.

VMware Cloud Director manages Kubernetes registry credentials as a runtime defined entity. For more details, see Managing Defined Entities in VMware Cloud Director.

Prerequisites

  • Verify that you are the Kubernetes cluster owner and that you have the View: ContainerRegistryCredential, Edit: ContainerRegistryCredential, and Full Control: ContainerRegistryCredential rights.

Procedure

  1. From the primary left navigation panel, select Content Hub.
  2. In the left panel, click Registry Credentials.
  3. Click Create.
  4. Enter a name, and optionally, a description for the registry credentials.
  5. Enter a container registry server URL, user name, and password.
  6. Click Save.

What to do next

  • In the Manifests Editor, verify that the image registry host is set to the container registry server.
  • You can edit or delete registry credentials from the Registry Credentials page.
