      Epic Goal

      • As a developer i want to pull image by image tag instead of digest because the mirroring of arbitrary content from upstream registries is referred to by tag 

      Why is this important?

      1) General mirroring of arbitrary content from upstream registries which is generally referred to by tag. Developers do not want to update all their manifest to use digests based references. At the same time operations teams want to provide good pull performance and introspection of this content by using a hosted registry as a transparent pull-through cache. Such a feature requests exists in PROJQUAY-465 and it only makes business sense if CRI-O supports tag-based mirroring.

      2) Multi-Arch support is becoming difficult. It's based on manifest lists which digests is a result of all the manifests in the list. Due to the support of multi-arch the amount of images customers need to mirror tripled and so has the time and storage consumption to do this. However a large portion of our customers aren't running mixed architectures and only ever require one architecture of each image to be mirrored. When only 1 out of 3 architectures is mirrored per image, the digest of the manifest list changes and the concept of disconnected clusters based on digest references breaks.
