OCI Registry: Beyond Container Images - Easing Air-Gap Deployments
03-17, 09:40–10:10 (Europe/Paris), Arena

This session explores the expanded capabilities of OCI registries beyond traditional container image storage, focusing on a use case to easing air-gap deployments.

Leveraging OCI registries for storing Helm charts and Kubernetes manifests presents a novel approach to manage deployments. The discussion will include key features and capabilities of tools such as Flux and ORAS, highlighting their role in enhancing the functionality of OCI registries.

By elaborating on the practical use cases, such as the deployment of signed Helm charts in secure environments, signed GitOps artefacts delivery, this presentation aims to showcase the versatility of OCI registries and their pivotal role in secured software supply-chain.


Traditionally, container registries have been primarily used for storing container images. However, their potential extends far beyond this conventional use. This expanded functionality needs to be more well known.
