+# NOTE: RISK OF USING UNQUALIFIED IMAGE NAMES
+# We recommend always using fully qualified image names including the registry
+# server (full dns name), namespace, image name, and tag
+# (e.g., registry.redhat.io/ubi8/ubi:latest). Pulling by digest (i.e.,
+# quay.io/repository/name@digest) further eliminates the ambiguity of tags.
+# When using short names, there is always an inherent risk that the image being
+# pulled could be spoofed. For example, a user wants to pull an image named
+# `foobar` from a registry and expects it to come from myregistry.com. If
+# myregistry.com is not first in the search list, an attacker could place a
+# different `foobar` image at a registry earlier in the search list. The user
+# would accidentally pull and run the attacker's image and code rather than the
+# intended content. We recommend only adding registries which are completely
+# trusted (i.e., registries which don't allow unknown or anonymous users to
+# create accounts with arbitrary names). This will prevent an image from being
+# spoofed, squatted or otherwise made insecure.  If it is necessary to use one
+# of these registries, it should be added at the end of the list.
+#
+# # An array of host[:port] registries to try when pulling an unqualified image, in order.
+# unqualified-search-registries = ["example.com"]

+# # The "prefix" field is used to choose the relevant [[registry]] TOML table;
+# # (only) the TOML table with the longest match for the input image name
+# # (taking into account namespace/repo/tag/digest separators) is used.
+# #
+# # If the prefix field is missing, it defaults to be the same as the "location" field.

+# # and the [[registry]] TOML table can only specify "location").
+# #
+# # Example: Given
+# #   prefix = "example.com/foo"
+# #   location = "internal-registry-for-example.net/bar"
+# # requests for the image example.com/foo/myimage:latest will actually work with the

+# # The mirrors are attempted in the specified order; the first one that can be
+# # contacted and contains the image will be used (and if none of the mirrors contains the image,
+# # the primary location specified by the "registry.location" field, or using the unmodified
+# # user-specified reference, is tried last).
+# #
+# # Each TOML table in the "mirror" array can contain the following fields, with the same semantics
+# # as if specified in the [[registry]] TOML table directly:
+# # - location
+# # - insecure
+# [[registry.mirror]]
+# location = "example-mirror-0.local/mirror-for-foo"
+# [[registry.mirror]]
+# location = "example-mirror-1.local/mirrors/foo"
+# insecure = true
+# # Given the above, a pull of example.com/foo/image:latest will try:
+# # 1. example-mirror-0.local/mirror-for-foo/image:latest
+# # 2. example-mirror-1.local/mirrors/foo/image:latest
+# # 3. internal-registry-for-example.net/bar/image:latest
+# # in order, and use the first one that exists.
