Activate Cloud Shell
Cloud Shell is a virtual machine that is loaded with development tools. It offers a persistent 5GB home directory and runs on the Google Cloud. Cloud Shell provides command-line access to your Google Cloud resources.
- Click Activate Cloud Shell
at the top of the Google Cloud console.
When you are connected, you are already authenticated, and the project is set to your PROJECT_ID. The output contains a line that declares the PROJECT_ID for this session:
Your Cloud Platform project in this session is set to YOUR_PROJECT_ID
gcloud is the command-line tool for Google Cloud. It comes pre-installed on Cloud Shell and supports tab-completion.
- (Optional) You can list the active account name with this command:
gcloud auth list
-
Click Authorize.
-
Your output should now look like this:
Output:
ACTIVE: *
ACCOUNT: student-01-xxxxxxxxxxxx@qwiklabs.net
To set the active account, run:
$ gcloud config set account `ACCOUNT`
- (Optional) You can list the project ID with this command:
gcloud config list project
Output:
[core]
project = <project_ID>
Example output:
[core]
project = qwiklabs-gcp-44776a13dea667a6
Note: For full documentation of gcloud, in Google Cloud, refer to the gcloud CLI overview guide.
Overview
In this lab, you'll learn how to create an Artifact Registry repository for storing container images and then push a sample image to it. Artifact Registry provides a central location for managing and securing your container images and other build artifacts. This lab assumes familiarity with Docker and basic Google Cloud concepts.
Task 1. Enable the Artifact Registry API
Before you can use Artifact Registry, you need to enable the API for your project.
- Enable the Artifact Registry API.
gcloud services enable artifactregistry.googleapis.com
Note:
This command enables the Artifact Registry API for your project.
Task 2. Create an Artifact Registry Repository
Now, create a Docker repository in Artifact Registry to store your container images. You'll need to choose a region for the repository.
- Set your project ID:
gcloud config set project {{{ project_0.project_id | "PROJECT_ID" }}}
Note:
This command sets your active project identity.
- Set your default region to
gcloud config set compute/region {{{ project_0.default_region | "REGION" }}}
Note:
This command sets your active compute region.
- Create a Docker repository named 'my-docker-repo' in Artifact Registry in the region.
gcloud artifacts repositories create my-docker-repo \
--repository-format=docker \
--location={{{ project_0.default_region | "REGION" }}} \
--description="Docker repository"
Note:
This command creates a Docker repository.
Task 3. Configure Docker Authentication
To push and pull images, configure Docker to authenticate with Artifact Registry.
- Configure Docker authentication.
gcloud auth configure-docker {{{ project_0.default_region | "REGION" }}}-docker.pkg.dev
Note:
This command configures Docker to authenticate with Artifact Registry.
Task 4. Build and Tag a Sample Docker Image
Let's build a simple Docker image and tag it for Artifact Registry. This example uses a simple nginx image.
- Create a simple Dockerfile.
mkdir sample-app
cd sample-app
echo "FROM nginx:latest" > Dockerfile
Note:
This creates a basic Dockerfile.
- Build the Docker image. Replace with your project ID.
docker build -t nginx-image .
Note:
This command builds the Docker image.
- Tag the Docker image for Artifact Registry. Replace and with your project ID and region.
docker tag nginx-image {{{ project_0.default_region | "REGION" }}}-docker.pkg.dev/{{{ project_0.project_id | "PROJECT_ID" }}}/my-docker-repo/nginx-image:latest
Note:
This command tags the Docker image.
Task 5. Push the Docker Image to Artifact Registry
Now, push the tagged image to your Artifact Registry repository.
- Push the Docker image to Artifact Registry. Replace and with your project ID and region.
docker push {{{ project_0.default_region | "REGION" }}}-docker.pkg.dev/{{{ project_0.project_id | "PROJECT_ID" }}}/my-docker-repo/nginx-image:latest
Note:
This command pushes the Docker image to Artifact Registry.
Congratulations!
You have successfully created an Artifact Registry repository, built a Docker image, tagged it, and pushed it to Artifact Registry. You can now use this image in your deployments.
