The "Distribution" project
What is this
This is a part of the Docker project, or "primitive" that handles the "distribution" of images.
Punchline
Pack. Sign. Ship. Store. Deliver. Verify.
Technical scope
Distribution has tight relations with:
- libtrust, providing cryptographical primitives to handle image signing and verification
- image format, as transferred over the wire
- docker-registry, the server side component that allows storage and retrieval of packed images
- authentication and key management APIs, that are used to verify images and access storage services
- PKI infrastructure
- docker "pull/push client" code gluing all this together - network communication code, tarsum, etc
