The "Distribution" project

What is this

This is a part of the Docker project, or "primitive" that handles the "distribution" of images.

Punchline

Pack. Sign. Ship. Store. Deliver. Verify.

Technical scope

Distribution has tight relations with:

libtrust, providing cryptographical primitives to handle image signing and verification
image format, as transferred over the wire
docker-registry, the server side component that allows storage and retrieval of packed images
authentication and key management APIs, that are used to verify images and access storage services
PKI infrastructure
docker "pull/push client" code gluing all this together - network communication code, tarsum, etc
