Registry Counts Images, Not Tags
The Container Registry now counts images by digest instead of counting every tag as an image, and explains its retention rule more clearly.
What's changed
- Repository lists, the registry summary and each repository page now count images by digest, not tags: six tags that point at three digests read as three images. Lists and repository pages show the tag count next to it, and the tag table is labelled Tags
- The notice about images deployed by Rapids containers and the delete confirmations count images too: deleting selected tags says how many images go and lists the other tags that share their digest. Counts cover your project only and leave out repositories that are being deleted
- The retention wording now says what the rule does: it keeps the number of newest undeployed images you choose, plus every image a Rapids container is deployed from, and tags on one digest count once. The field is now called Undeployed images to keep; the rule itself is unchanged
- The docs gain an Automatic image retention section with an example: a limit of 2 with one deployed image can keep three images. Changing the setting does not remove anything at once; the new rule applies on the next push to that repository
