To use SaaS Runtime, you need a repository in Artifact Registry to store the
blueprint.
The blueprint defines the SaaS application and infrastructure that you deploy
with SaaS Runtime. For more details about blueprints, seeBlueprints in SaaS Runtime.
To create the repository, review the following details specific to
SaaS Runtime. Then, follow the instructions tocreate standard repositoriesin the
Artifact Registry documentation.
Details about repositories for SaaS Runtime
As you set up a repository in Artifact Registry, take into account the
following details:
When you configure the repository details:
ForFormat, selectDocker. Even though we're storing
Terraform configurations, SaaS Runtime uses the OCI
(Open Container Initiative) image format to package the Terraform
configurations. OCI images are compatible with Docker tooling.
Formode, select standard.
For the region of the repository, you can choose any region that is
supported by Artifact Registry. This region does not need to match the regions
where SaaS Runtime provisions the SaaS application and infrastructure.
However, if you plan to use Cloud Build in the same
Google Cloud project to build and push blueprints, it can be helpful to
choose the same region for your Cloud Build jobs,
Artifact Registry repository and Developer Connect.
