# Google Artifacts Registry

## Overview

The Google Artifact Registry (GAR) offers a more robust and scalable solution for DDOE integrations by supporting multiple artifact formats, including Container images. This allows users to manage not only containerized workloads but also custom plugins, scripts, and machine learning models more securely and efficiently.

- GAR's fine-grained IAM controls and VPC Service Controls enhance security, ensuring that data workflows in DDOE remain compliant and secure.
- As Google’s recommended and actively developed service, GAR provides a future-proof foundation for managing complex data and AI pipelines on the DDOE platform. [Learn more](https://cloud.google.com/container-registry/docs/overview).

          Notice

          

As of March 1, 2025, Google Container Registry has been officially deprecated.

To integrate Google Artifacts Registry (GAR) with the DDOE platform, follow these steps:

1. [Create and Configure a GCP GAR](/docs/google-artifacts-registry#create-and-configure-gar)
2. [Integrate GAR with Dataloop](/docs/google-artifacts-registry#integrate-gar-with-dataloop)
3. [Integrate GAR with SDK](https://developers.dataloop.ai/tutorials/faas_applications/using_docker_and_private_registries/chapter#integrate-gar-with-dataloop)

## Create and Configure GAR

### 1. Enable Artifact Registry API on GCP

1. Go to the [GCP Console](https://console.cloud.google.com/.)
2. Search and select the **APIs & Services** > **Library**.
3. Search for **Artifact Registry API**.

1. Click **Enable**.

Use this command to run in your terminal:

```
gcloud services enable artifactregistry.googleapis.com
```

This enables the GAR API for your GCP project.

### 2. Configure IAM Permissions

Grant appropriate permissions to the user or service account that DDOE will use:

1. Go to **IAM & Admin** -> **IAM**.
2. Identify the user and click on the **Edit principal** ✏️ pencil icon.
3. **Role**:
  1. Select the **Artifact Registry** -> **Artifact Registry Administrator** from the list.
  2. Click **Add another role**, and select the **Storage Admin** (optional, for managing storage).
4. Click **Save**.

Use this command to assign the role:

```
gcloud projects add-iam-policy-binding [PROJECT-ID] \
  --member="user:[USER-EMAIL]" \
  --role="roles/artifactregistry.admin"
```

### 3. Authenticate Docker with GAR

Before pushing or pulling images, configure Docker to authenticate with GAR:

```
gcloud auth configure-docker [REGION]-docker.pkg.dev
```

Replace [REGION] with your repository’s region (e.g., us-central1).

### 4. Tag and Push Container Images to GAR

**Tag your Docker image:**

```
docker tag [IMAGE_NAME] [REGION]-docker.pkg.dev/[PROJECT_ID]/[REPOSITORY]/[IMAGE_NAME]:[TAG]
```

**Push it to Artifact Registry:**

```
docker push [REGION]-docker.pkg.dev/[PROJECT_ID]/[REPOSITORY]/[IMAGE_NAME]:[TAG]
```

## Integrate GAR with DDOE

### 1. Generate a Service Account Key

1. Create a service account:
  1. Navigate to IAM & Admin > Service Accounts.
  2. Click Create Service Account.
  3. Provide a Name (e.g., DDOE-access) and click Create.
  4. Assign the following roles:
    1. Storage Object Viewer.
    2. Container Registry Viewer.
  5. Click **Done**.
2. Generate a key for the service account:
  1. Find your service account in the list, and click to open.
  2. Select the **Keys** tab.
  3. Click **Add Key** > **Create New Key**.
  4. Select **JSON** and click **Create**.
  5. Save the **JSON** key file securely.

### 3. Upload the Service Account Key to DDOE

![](https://cdn.document360.io/53f32fe9-1937-4652-8526-90c1bc78d3f8/Images/Documentation/Integration_GCP_GAR.png)

1. Log in to your DDOE Platform.
2. Navigate to the **Integrations** page.
3. Click **Create Integration** -> **Create Registry Integration**.
  1. **Integration Name**: Provide a name for the integration.
  2. **Provider**: Select **GCP** from the list.
    1. **Service**: Select **Google Artifacts Registry** from the list.
    2. Click **Import JSON file**.
    3. **Location**: Enter the full location of your Google Artifact Registry (GAR), including the region, (e.g., us-central1-docker.pkg.dev).
4. Click **Create Integration**.

### 4. Test the Configuration

- In the DDOE platform, try pulling or referencing a Container image hosted in your GCR.
- Ensure the integration is working without any errors.
