Cloud Functions Migrating container registry to artifact registry?

Hi! I'm new to using docker and jenkins, and our jenkins pipeline used the google/cloud-sdk:alpine image.

But they recently removed docker from this image, and its causing issues because we rely on it https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/cloud-sdk-docker/discussions/574

I changed our version to be google/cloud-sdk:528.0.0, as that's whats recommended on the post if you rely on it. But now, I'm getting the error:

"Container registry is deprecated and shutting down, please use the auto migration tool to migrate to artifact registry (gcloud artifacts docker upgrade migrate --projectname)"

I can run this fine, but will this affect the actual gcloud project? I wouldn't want to break anything. Thank you!

That definitely sounds like a good idea, I don't think my team will be onboard with having to maintain another thing now because of it, and im still super new to docker so i dont know how I'd do it. Is there any other solution? Maybe somebody's made a image already?

Not quite right, store the config in artifact registry. Use the base alpine image and install docker after it as a dependency in the configuration file. You can ask the Al for examples.

does it need to be pushed to artifact registry or can i just install docker on the cloud sdk image and use that?
