# UI for the Container Virtual Registries Feature ## Overview This epic covers the implementation of the user interface for the container virtual registries feature. ## Goals - Create a user-friendly interface for managing container virtual registries - Ensure seamless integration with the existing Container Registry UI - Implement all necessary CRUD operations through the UI - Provide clear visualization of container virtual registry structures and relationships ## User Stories 1. As a user, I want to view a list of all container virtual registries in my group 2. As a user, I want to create a new container virtual registry 3. As a user, I want to edit the properties of an existing container virtual registry 4. As a user, I want to delete a container virtual registry 5. As a user, I want to view the contents and structure of a container virtual registry ## Comparison to Maven virtual registry https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/576224+ ## Limitations - There can be maximum of 5 registries and 5 upstreams per registry. This is unlike Maven virtual registry where it can have maximum of 20 registries and 20 upstreams per registry. ## Technical Considerations - Integrate with the existing registry frontend architecture - Ensure responsive design for various screen sizes - Consider performance optimizations for large numbers of virtual registry cache entries ## Design Requirements - Create wireframes and mockups for all major UI components - Ensure consistency with GitLab's design system - Design intuitive navigation between regular and virtual registries ### Design issue Add link to design issue here ## Acceptance Criteria - All user stories are implemented and functional - UI is responsive and works on desktop and mobile devices - Design is consistent with GitLab's UI guidelines - All interactions with the API are correctly handled, including error states - Documentation is updated to reflect new UI features ## Out of Scope - Changes to the backend API (unless necessary for UI implementation) - Modifications to non-virtual registry functionality ## Open Questions - What do wee need to add container virtual registries to the existing virtual registries UI? <!--triage-serverless v3 PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THIS SECTION--> _This page may contain information related to upcoming products, features and functionality.
