SoftWare Repository for Container (SWR) allows you to easily manage the full lifecycle of container images and facilitates secure deployment of images for your applications.
SWR can either work with CCE or be used as an independent container image repository.
Figure 1 How SWR works
Features
- Full lifecycle management of images
SWR manages the entire lifecycle of your container images, such as image push, pull, and deletion.
- Private image repository and access control
Private image repository and fine-grained permission management allow you to grant different access permissions, namely, read, write, and edit, to different users.
- Large-scale image pull acceleration
SWR uses the image pull acceleration technology to ensure faster image pull for CCE clusters in high concurrency scenarios.
Accessing SWR
The cloud platform provides a web-based management console and HTTPS-based APIs through which you can access SWR.
- Using APIs
If you want to integrate SWR into a third-party system for secondary development, use APIs to access SWR. For details, see SoftWare Repository for Container API Reference.
- Using the management console
For other operations, access SWR through the management console.
