I don't understand why everyone is using their own OCI compatible image formats for PaaS, it seems anti user, and likely decreases portability. Adding your own image format over complicates this when you can rely on docker images or nixpacks or whatever. Having 10 competing image formats is anything but useful.
- qbasic_forever 4y agoMost things are storing more than just container images in OCI registries. This stores images plus metadata like kubernetes manifests, configuration, etc. all in the registry (I assume, I only skimmed the docs). People do this because the registry is the source of truth for what their production can talk to, for example if they use a managed registry or deploy their own like Harbor it simplifies access control and locking down your service.
