This page is an overview of what you need to do to distribute and maintain a container image product on Cloud Marketplace.
Before you begin
- Review the open source compliance recommendations and restrictions.
- Create your
Google Cloud project and grant the Project Editor role to
cloud-commerce-marketplace-onboarding@twosync-src.google.com. - Complete the Project Info form that the Cloud Marketplace team sends you. To fill out the form, you might need to request access to it.
After you send us the above information, we give you access to Producer Portal, which you use in the next step, technical integration.
Overview of technical integration
As a partner, you can use Producer Portal to create Google Cloud Marketplace products. You can enter product details, configure what images are shown, and preview how your listing appears in Cloud Marketplace.
Users pull container images from a Google-owned container registry
repository, marketplace.gcr.io/YOUR-PARTNER-PUBLISHED-NAME/YOUR-PRODUCT-PUBLISHED-NAME.
You provide Google product images via a staging repository (specified
during product creation, with the prefix gcr.io). You specify
which Container Registry tags you'd like to present in
Cloud Marketplace. When your product is published, Google copies the
specified images from your staging gcr.io repository to the
official marketplace.gcr.io repository, from which users
download your container images.
Best practices for container image products
The following best practices are recommended for all products:
- Create Getting Started documentation
- Add User Support documentation
Reviewing and launching
After you submit your product, cloud-partner-eng will review your submission
and work with you to resolve any issues before approving it. When the product
is approved, it is launched within 15 minutes of approval.
