🗒 Tutorial

Details

Project Quay is an open-source repository that stores and manages artifacts such as containers for use on cloud-native platforms. It offers these and many other features:

• High availability registry
• Vulnerability scanning, logging, auditing, notifications, and alerts
• Role-based access control (RBAC)
• Integration with OAuth support
• Build automation integration with Git/GitHub/GitLab

As a container, it can be deployed on a Kubernetes cluster using an Operator or on Podman, providing a standalone or high-availability deployment.

Objectives

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to:

• Access a 3-node Project Quay deployment
• Verify basic Project Quay functionality works
• Use the HAProxy Console to monitor Project Quay nodes

Note: The steps provided do not include configuring the registry using certificates. Therefore, configuring Project Quay in this specific way is recommended for non-production purposes or an internal/air-gapped environment only.
