Kube-Registry with GCS storage backend

Besides local file system, docker registry also supports a number of cloud storage backends. Full list of supported backend can be found here. This document describes how to enable GCS for kube-registry as storage backend.

A few preparation steps are needed.

1. Create a bucket named kube-registry in GCS.
2. Create a service account for GCS access and create key file in json format. Detail instruction can be found here.

Pack Keyfile into a Secret

Assuming you have downloaded the keyfile as keyfile.json. Create secret with the keyfile.json...

$ kubectl --namespace=kube-system create secret generic gcs-key-secret --from-file=keyfile=keyfile.json
