Artifact Registry and Continuous Integrations

Learn how to use Artifact Registry with the Continuous Integration (CI) module.

Build and push to Docker with Artifact Registry

Harness CI offers a Build and push to Docker step that allows you to build and push a docker image to any registry. Usually, this requires a connector to the registry you want, but with AR you can connect to a registry directly, within the platform, without any complicated setup.

To do so, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to your pipeline, and enter your Build stage.
2. Create a new Build and Push an image to Docker Registry step.
3. Harness Artifact Registry is the default registry type. Ensure that it is selected, and move to the next step.
4. Select your registry under Registry. Clicking the field will show a list of available registries.
5. Once your registry is selected, a list of images will populate under Image Name. Choose one, or type the name of a new image that you are building the first time.
6. Enter any image tags you wish under Tags.
7. Click Apply Changes at the top right, and you are done! No connectors needed.
