Replicating an Image to Other Regions

Scenarios

You can replicate images between registries. In this way, images in one registry can be used in other registries for quick container deployment and updates globally. You can replicate artifacts between SWR Enterprise Edition and:

• SWR Shared Edition
• An SWR Enterprise Edition registry in another region or a private registry built based on open-source Harbor

You can create a policy to customize a replication. For example, you can customize the artifact type (images, Helm charts, or all), source images and tags (using a regular expression), and whether to overwrite existing artifacts.

You can also access IAM and choose Permissions > Policies/Roles to create a custom policy to determine whether images in a region can be replicated to other regions. After a custom policy is created, if you create an image replication policy in the source or destination region that is not allowed by the custom policy, the replication policy will fail to be created. For details about custom policies, see SWR Custom Policies.
