About:
Crane is a command-line interface (CLI) tool for managing container images within remote registries. It enables developers to copy, catalog, and inspect container images without needing to pull them locally. This utility is essential for automating container workflows and ensuring efficient image management across different environments.
Key Features:
  • Copy images between registries
  • Inspect remote image manifests and configurations
  • List tags for a given repository
  • Validate image signatures
Use Cases:
  • Migrating container images from one registry to another
  • Debugging image build issues by inspecting layers
  • Automating CI/CD pipelines for image promotion
Alternatives:
  • docker – Docker CLI is a full container runtime platform, while Crane is a specialized tool focused purely on registry operations.
  • skopeo – Skopeo is a similar tool for inspecting and copying images, often found in Red Hat-based ecosystems.
