Package Registry as Model Registry

Many of the capabilities within a Model Registry include feature that exist within our package registry including:

• Version management
• File hosting
• CRUD API
• CI/CD Support
• Basic Management UI
• Authentication
• Centralization

GitLab support a variety of package types, including a Genric package. The generic package registry can be used today as a basic model registry (demo)

You can compare GitLab Generic Registry to other ML specific package registries including MLFlow, SageMaker

The main thing we need to add support for is Model Metadata
