Add a tag retention rule

Tag retention rules let you define criteria to automatically retain or delete tags in a repository, giving you control over storage usage without manual intervention.

1. On the FPT Portal menu, select Container Registry > Policy tab.

   

2. Click ADD RULES and enter the information to create a tag retention rule.

   

3. In the Repositories menu, select matching or excluding.

   

4. In the Repositories field, enter the information to identify the repositories the rule applies to:

   • A single repository name, e.g. my_repo_1
   • A comma-separated list of repositories, e.g. my_repo_1, my_repo_2
   • Repository names with wildcard characters

   

   Use ** to apply to all repositories. If you select matching, the rule applies to the repositories you specify. If you select excluding, the rule applies to all except the repositories you specify.

5. In the By image count or number of days menu, specify the number of tags to retain or the retention period.

   

   Option	Description
   retain the most recently pushed # images	Keep the specified number of most recently pushed images
   retain the most recently pulled # images	Keep the specified number of most recently pulled images
   retain the images pushed within the last # days	Keep images pushed within the specified number of days
   retain the images pulled within the last # days	Keep images pulled within the specified number of days
   retain always	Always retain images under this rule

6. In the Tag menu, select matching or excluding.

   

7. In the Tag field, enter the information to identify the tags the rule applies to:

   • A single tag name, e.g. my_tag_1
   • A comma-separated list of tags
   • Tag names with wildcard characters

   

   Use ** to apply to all tags.

8. Click Add to save the rule.

   

9. Verify the newly created tag retention rule.

   

   Example: a rule that retains the 20 most recently pushed artifacts across all tags in all repositories.
