Registry Management #

Registry Management saves you from the hassle of managing different images in different places. BuildPiper Registry Management scans for CVE vulnerabilities every time you onboard any application — just use the image link, and you are good to build any application.

Overview & Key Terminologies #

Registry Management centralises your container image lifecycle — eliminating version conflicts, enforcing security scanning, and providing a single source of truth across all teams and environments.

Why Use Registry Management? #

🛡️Security

Prevents unauthorized access and blocks deployment of images with known vulnerabilities. CVE scan runs automatically on every onboarding.

🔄Consistency

Provides a “single source of truth” for all team members — ensuring the same image is used across different environments as per requirements.

⚡Performance

Enables faster image pulls by caching and centralising registry access, reducing build pipeline latency.

Who Can Onboard Images in Registry? #

📌

RBAC-Controlled Access

Registry onboarding is governed by BuildPiper’s Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). Only users with Super Admin or Manager / DevOps roles have the permission to add and configure container registries within BuildPiper.
