JFrog Artifactory Now Integrates Natively with Artifact Registry in Google Cloud

Google Artifact Registry’s new Connector repository mode enables Cloud Run and Google Kubernetes Engine to pull container images directly from JFrog Artifactory without storing copies in Artifact Registry. Acting as a real-time passthrough proxy, the Connector preserves JFrog as the single source of truth and allows its security and governance policies to be enforced at every image pull. Setup involves creating a JFrog Docker repository, storing a JFrog access token in Google Secret Manager, configuring a Connector repository with the JFrog registry URL and credentials, and referencing it in workloads as an Artifact Registry source. The integration replaces image synchronization jobs, custom mirroring functions, and parallel registry management while reducing risks from stale copies and delayed policy updates. If a newly discovered critical vulnerability causes an image to be blocked in Artifactory, subsequent pulls through Cloud Run or GKE can be denied immediately, while JFrog Runtime can provide additional monitoring of running containers.
