Google Container Registry is definitely a lot faster than DockerHub in my experience. However, it is still lacking some important features, like being able to delete an image. We have a CI pipeline building Docker images and pushing to GCR. This is using a ton of storage and there is no documented method to remove un-needed images. They did recently add an option to un-tag an image by clicking an "X" on each tag, but it still doesn't remove the image from the Google Cloud Storage bucket that it is stored in, just removes the tag. Occasionally we will have issues with using the "latest" tag as well where we can push an image to latest but when we retrieve the image, we get a previous version. For the most part we eliminated using the latest tag, which is probably a good idea anyways.

- coleca 11y agoI sent an email to Google last week and they responded: "One of the things we are investigating is opt-in garbage collection to clear out old and unreachable images from the graph, but we do not have this today."
