GitLab / Container Registry Group

This video is a companion video for this quick-start guide: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/container-registry/-/blob/master/docs-gitlab/database-quick-start.md

This feature is in beta, so please be sure to visit the feedback issue before attempting to migrate to the metadata database: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/423459

This is an experimental feature, it is not ready to be used in production environments. Follow this guide at your own risk, including
potential data loss from the container registry
The following guide specifies the steps required to enable the Container Registry metadata database for a new
Helm charts installation on GCP. This guide assumes this is a completely new installation without data and there is a high
risk of losing data and working configurations in the process.
Stay tuned for a guide that includes migration steps.
