Geo Admin Dashboard: Align Component names with Docs

Why are we doing this work

Currently, in Geo we represent a replicable's component name different in the UI than we do in the docs. This can be confusing when trying to find information about a replicable and not being able to find it in the docs (due to the name being different).

We should align with the docs and update the UI component names to match what is in the docs currently.

Implementation plan

The following replicator's names do not match the component names in the documentation:

Replicator name (i.e in the UI/console) Component name (from data types docs) Comments
Container Repository Container registry Container Repositories are stored in the Container Registry, so maybe needs more alignment of docs and UI here than just the naming.
@karras: Added in #517362 (closed).
Dependency Proxy Blob Dependency proxy image
Dependency Proxy Manifest ??
Design Management Repository Project designs repository
Job Artifact CI job artifact
Merge Request Diff External merge request diffs
Package File Package registry
Pages Deployment Page
Snippet Repository Snippet Can be personal or project snippets
Terraform State Version Versioned Terraform State
Uploads User upload

After synchronous alignment, this issue can be addressed by:

  • Adding a table like the one above to the Geo Glossary, highlighting the naming in the documentation (Component name) vs. in the Admin UI and Rails console (Replicator name);
  • Involve @axil (the Geo technical writer) as early in the process as possible to make sure the addition provides value and not more confusion.
