Question

In Docker Trusted Registry, how would a user prevent an image, for example 'nginx:latest' from being overwritten by another user with push access to the repository?

Options

  • ATag the image with 'nginx:immutable'
  • BRemove push access from all other users.
  • CUse the DTR web UI to make the tag immutable.
  • DKeep a backup copy of the image on another repository.

Explanation

Docker Trusted Registry (DTR) provides a specific feature to make image tags immutable, preventing them from being overwritten once pushed to a repository.

Common mistakes.

  • A. Simply tagging an image with a descriptive name like 'nginx:immutable' does not automatically confer immutability properties; it requires a registry-level configuration.
  • B. Removing push access from all other users is too restrictive as it would prevent them from pushing any new tags or images to the repository.
  • D. Keeping a backup copy of the image on another repository is a good backup strategy but does not prevent the original tag from being overwritten on the source DTR repository.
