Introduction

Overview

SoftWare Repository for Container (SWR) provides easy, secure, and reliable management of container images throughout their lifecycle, facilitating the deployment of containerized applications.

SWR allows you to securely host and efficiently distribute images on the cloud without building or maintaining image repositories by yourselves. In addition, SWR can work with Cloud Container Engine (CCE) to smoothly run your services in containers.

SWR Shared Edition is free of charge.

Features

• Full lifecycle management of images

  SWR manages the full lifecycle of your container images, including push, pull, and deletion.

• Private image repository

  Private image repository and fine-grained permission management allow you to grant different access permissions, namely, read, write, and edit, to different users.

• Image pull acceleration

  Acceleration technology developed by Huawei brings faster image pull for CCE clusters during high concurrency.

• Automatic deployment update through triggers

  Image deployment can be triggered automatically upon image update. Simply set a trigger for the desired image. Every time the image is updated, the application deployed with this image will be automatically updated.

Access Mode

You can access SWR using a web-based console or through HTTPS-based application programming interfaces (APIs).

• APIs

  If you want to integrate SWR into a third-party system for secondary development, use APIs to access SWR. For details, see the SoftWare Repository for Container API Reference.

• Console

  If you do not want to integrate SWR into a third-party system, use the console to access SWR. If you already have an account on the cloud platform, log in to the console and choose SoftWare Repository for Container.

  If you do not have an account, create one as instructed in Signing Up with Huawei Cloud.
