Determining your repository URL on Google container registry

In order to push a container image to Google container registry, there is an important consideration regarding the repository URL. First of all, there are several Google container registry region hosts available:

• gcr.io (currently USA region)
• us.gcr.io (USA region)
• eu.gcr.io (Europe region)
• asia.gcr.io (Asia region)

Note that these region hosts are network latency purpose, doesn't mean to restrict to a particular region. They are still accessible worldwide.

Second of all, while you tag the container image, you also need to specify your project-id on which you've enabled billing and API. Therefore, the entire repository URL could be:

<gcr region>/<project-id>/<image name>:tag
