[shipwright-dev] Re: Introducing an Image Management Abstraction Layer

Thanks Ricardo, this looks interesting. I have some questions around faster images loading. For the concept of images mirroring in-cluster, can you elaborate a little bit more on the goals. - Is that done to boost deployment times? e.g. avoiding a deployment to pull an image from an external registry. - For Shipwright, I think you are proposing that we load well known base images in the local registry, to boost build times (Is this assumption correct?). I see a strong use case here for admins, e.g. if I build your image with Buildpacks, I probably would like to mirror the base builder image (https://paketo.io/docs/builders/#what-is-a-builder). For Build Users I´m not sure, while they will need to maintain a Tag CRD definition for each container image they would like to build. Regards, Enrique E. Encalada
