GitLab.com Container Registry to use Google Cloud CDN

In January 2022, GitLab.com plans to integrate the GitLab Container Registry with the Google Cloud Content Delivery Network (CDN) to enhance cost-efficiency and performance by redirecting download requests for blobs to the CDN instead of Google Cloud Storage. This change aims to accelerate image downloads for GitLab CI users by utilizing edge caches nearer to users' locations. The transition will commence in late January 2022 with a gradual, percentage-based rollout, initially affecting requests directed to Google Cloud Storage, except for those originating within the Google Cloud Platform. Most users will not notice the change due to automatic handling of redirections by client tools, but those managing allow lists must update them to include the CDN endpoint. Further updates and timelines will be shared in an ongoing issue, with a subsequent blog post to announce the transition's completion.
