A trigger for Cloud Functions launches a function when specific events occur with a Container Registry Docker image. The trigger must be in the same cloud as the registry whose events it is subscribed to.

A trigger for Container Registry needs a service account to call the function.

For more information about creating a trigger for Container Registry, see Creating a trigger for Container Registry that invokes a Cloud Functions function.

Events for setting up a triggerEvents for setting up a trigger

Events with Docker images that can be tracked using a trigger:

  • Creating a Docker image.
  • Delete Docker images.
  • Creating a Docker image tag.
  • Deleting a Docker image tag.

A Docker image is always pushed with a tag (if no tag is specified, Docker automatically inserts the latest tag). Therefore the CreateImage event is always paired with CreateImageTag. You can add an arbitrary number of tags to a Docker image by pushing the same image with other tags. In this case, only the CreateImageTag event will occur, without CreateImage.

A tag can go from one Docker image to another. This happens when pushing a new Docker image with a tag that is already used in another Docker image. In this case, the CreateImage event will occur for the new Docker image, while changing the tag will trigger two events: DeleteImageTag (removing the tag from the old Docker image) and CreateImageTag (assigning the tag to the new Docker image).

When you delete a Docker image, all its tags are deleted. This is why deleting a Docker image always triggers the DeleteImage event and as many DeleteImageTag events as the Docker image had tags at the time of deletion.

Filtering eventsFiltering events

Events are filtered using tags and names of Docker images that you push. When using a name and tag at the same time, filtering is done based on the logical AND: for the trigger to work, the image must match both the name and tag.

BatchingBatching

Batching settings allow you to send multiple events to a function at the same time. They set a top limit on the size of an event group and its accumulation time. For example, if the size of an event group is 3, the function can receive groups that contain from 1 to 3 events.

Roles required for the proper operation of a trigger for Container RegistryRoles required for the proper operation of a trigger for Container Registry

  • To create a trigger, you need:
    • Permission for the service account under which the trigger runs the operation. This permission comes with the iam.serviceAccounts.user and editor roles or higher.
    • The container-registry.images.puller role for the registry whose events are processed by the trigger.
  • For the trigger to fire, the service account needs the functions.functionInvoker role for the folder containing the function called by the trigger.

Container Registry trigger message formatContainer Registry trigger message format

Once the trigger fires, it will send the following message to the function:

{
  "messages": [
  {
    "event_metadata": {
      "cloud_id": "b1gvlrnlw2e6********",
      "created_at": "2020-09-07T11:09:14Z",
      "event_id": "crtpk611vb7g********",
      "event_type": "yandex.cloud.events.containerregistry.CreateImage",
      "folder_id": "b1g88tfl0pl8********",
      "tracing_context": {
        "parent_span_id": "-14915794679********",
        "span_id": "-72326631357********",
        "trace_id": "70e7m4n2********"
      }
    },
    "details": {
      "image_digest": "sha256:45f8f740272f1f2a053eade37d8d************************************",

      "repository_name": "crt2504s************/ubuntu",
      "tag": "latest"
    }
  }]
}
