Image Registry

Use ReadWriteOnce volumes - new in 4.4!

Note

Only available since OpenShift version 4.4.0

Warning

By using a ReadWriteOnce volume you have to

  • Change the Rollout Strategy from rolling to recreate and

  • its only supported to have exactly one replica.

That means, during a cluster or image-registry upgrade, your internal registry has downtime between stopping the old pod and starting the new pod!
