Dell EMC CSI drivers container images: using a local registry is possible instead of docker.io ?

Customer is using OpenShift with Unity CSI driver, as part installation and life-cycling images need periodical pull from docker.io.

As customer has an anonymous access on docker.io a “pullRatelimit”  on docker.io sometimes block pulling of images of CSI Unity drivers instance image that occurs for instance any time a pod is restarted to a node that does not have images already pulled on OCP cluster or in case of new CSI Operator installation (in various OCP cluster).

Is there any way to store Dell CSI driver container images in a local/different registry and avoid docker.io pull as customer reached a limit of pulled images ?

Hi @galanm 

You can provide your local image in myvalues.yaml as : 

images:
Generally we don't recommend to give image in myvalues.yaml because, release image gets automatically picked up since imagePullPolicy is set as below
imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent

You can also try Offline bundle installation, also to use this - we need to download the image from the docker container the first time and push it to another machine even if it is in dark side. Please check the link below.
