Next-generation GitLab container registry goes GA

GitLab has successfully re-architected its container registry, introducing a next-generation version that features zero-downtime garbage collection and improved performance, among other enhancements. Following a successful beta program with self-managed customers, who reported significant benefits such as storage cost savings and improved reliability, the new registry will become generally available with GitLab 17.3, although it will be disabled by default to give users time to plan migrations. Documentation is provided to assist with the transition, which aims to be seamless and user-controlled, with the legacy registry continuing to receive security updates until GitLab 19.0. The architectural upgrade paves the way for future enhancements, including features like protected repositories and improved Helm chart management, with feedback from beta participants playing a crucial role in reaching this milestone.
