Overview

Concrete tool for tagging and pushing a Docker serving image to Google Container Registry using docker and gcloud CLI commands.

Description

Three commands push the serving image to GCR:

docker tag re-tags the local image with the GCR URL format (gcr.io/{PROJECT_ID}/{IMAGE_NAME})
gcloud auth configure-docker configures Docker to authenticate with GCR
docker push uploads the image layers to the registry

Usage

Run after building the Docker image and before creating the Kubernetes deployment. Requires an authenticated GCP project with the Container Registry API enabled.

Repository: tensorflow/serving
File: tensorflow_serving/g3doc/serving_kubernetes.md (L220-243)

Signature

docker tag $USER/resnet_serving gcr.io/tensorflow-serving/resnet
gcloud auth configure-docker
docker push gcr.io/tensorflow-serving/resnet

Import

# Requires: docker CLI, gcloud SDK
# GCP project with Container Registry API enabled

I/O Contract

Inputs

Name	Type	Required	Description
Source image	string	Yes	Local Docker image name (e.g., $USER/resnet_serving)
Target tag	string	Yes	Registry URL (e.g., gcr.io/project/image)
GCP credentials	auth	Yes	Authenticated gcloud session

Outputs

Name	Type	Description
Registry image	URL	Image available at gcr.io/{project}/{name}

Usage Examples

Push to GCR

# Tag for GCR
docker tag $USER/resnet_serving gcr.io/my-project/resnet_serving

# Configure Docker auth for GCR
gcloud auth configure-docker

# Push
docker push gcr.io/my-project/resnet_serving

Alternative: Docker Hub

docker tag $USER/resnet_serving myuser/resnet_serving:latest
docker login
docker push myuser/resnet_serving:latest
