Track total number of instances using an external container registry
Problem to solve
As part of the GitLab application, it's possible for self-managed instances to utilize an external container registry, such as Amazon's ECR, in place of GitLab's Container Registry. However, as we've been making improvements to our Container Registry, it's becoming a problem as those improvements do not support other, external registries.
In order to inform #199117, which aims to determine a solution for this problem, we would like to better understand how many self-managed instances are using external registries.
Intended users
Proposal
- Track the total number of (known) self-managed instances which are utilizing an external container registry, instead of the GitLab Container Registry.
Permissions and Security
- There are no permissions changes required for this change
