We’re writing to let you know about the recent redirection of the Kubernetes Legacy k8s.gcr.io community image registry to registry.k8s.io. The redirect took place on March 22, 2023, with the eventual goal of sunsetting k8s.gcr.io.
What do you need to know?
As Kubernetes (k8s) has grown, the need for a community-owned and managed registry has also grown. k8s.gcr.io has been providing this role, but to ensure uninterrupted service for your workloads and meet the needs of a larger community, we will gradually roll out an HTTP redirect from [k8s.gcr.io](https://notifications.google.com/g/p/APHC3cp0pB_nwdmm2ZPHvsxOq-PCiq53TFr1_WeX_ygxpDcUZaCw9gxptsvJmh_Rj_34qK8yNM5x_CD0EcJSqFC1XcVIfxvA7p3zNbVXLKBDxh6VWRUU5StSrRhRSfjlIIdTCYuZueCfLGFjrZqSsyrOF03wy_jq_2lYMKy3XfWNXkw) to [registry.k8s.io](https://notifications.google.com/g/p/APHC3crwABFJRSO3IfZZuCZTSvnQ_cZA2VvsZQ73mWp_hYFg15e3tXYOMm2spzhOUNu-HqKul8WE6P_BdAzbMJ2tIPXOrNqNAOv8vj1IwE8xoP__9DCDf0FrLuwTTcqDBUc34uRg-aoWdagyYUWt-I1ac9OGTD_9yQRqROUTf2WSNIwBwbD3ZA).
Replace k8s.gcr.io with registry.k8s.io in your workload resource definitions (pods, deployments, Helm charts, etc.) as a long-term solution. In the interim, if your network rules allow HTTP redirects, add a rule to allow registry.k8s.io.
