This is the 2nd attempt. The previous was reverted while we figured out
the regional mirrors (oops).
New plan: k8s.gcr.io is a read-only facade that auto-detects your source
region (us, eu, or asia for now) and pulls from the closest. To publish
an image, push k8s-staging.gcr.io and it will be synced to the regionals
automatically (similar to today). For now the staging is an alias to
gcr.io/google_containers (the legacy URL).
When we move off of google-owned projects (working on it), then we just
do a one-time sync, and change the google-internal config, and nobody
outside should notice.
We can, in parallel, change the auto-sync into a manual sync - send a PR
to "promote" something from staging, and a bot activates it. Nice and
visible, easy to keep track of.
Previously, we used the docker config digest (also called "image ID"
by Docker) for the value of the `ImageID` field in the container status.
This was not particularly useful, since the config manifest is not
what's used to identify the image in a registry, which uses the manifest
digest instead. Docker 1.12+ always populates the RepoDigests field
with the manifest digests, and Docker 1.10 and 1.11 populate it when
images are pulled by digest.
This commit changes `ImageID` to point to the the manifest digest when
available, using the prefix `docker-pullable://` (instead of
`docker://`)
