Create the Artifactory Registry

Each Artifact Registry repository must have a unique name, and only accounts with the right permissions can create the repositories.

1. Execute the following command to create an Artifact Registry repository:

gcloud artifacts repositories create <REPOSITORY> --location=<LOCATION> --repository-format=<REPOSITORY_FORMAT>  --description=<DESCRIPTION> 

Where:

<REPOSITORY> the ID or name for the repository

<LOCATION> the location of the repository. Setting the location here will override the default artifacts location value.

<REPOSITORY_FORMAT> format of the repository. The available options are: apt, docker, go, kfp, maven, npm, python or yum. For more information about the formats, see REQUIRED FLAGS.

<DESCRIPTION> is an optional description of the repository

For example:

gcloud artifacts repositories create gcp-arcsight-test-artifact-registry \
--repository-format=docker \
--location=us-central1 \
--description="Repository for container images for GCP ArcSight Test"

2. Add the Docker credHelper entry to the Docker configuration file, thus registering Google Cloud as the credential helper for all Google-supported Docker registries. Execute the following command:

gcloud auth configure-docker <[REGISTRIES]> 

Where:

<REGISTRIES> is a comma-separated list of repository hostnames to add to the credential helper configuration.

For example, to add the us-central1 and asia-northeast1 regions, run the following command:

gcloud auth configure-docker us-central1-docker.pkg.dev,asia-northeast1-docker.pkg.dev

3. If prompted, select Yes.
