I am entitled for several CP4A products and able to pull several images that I deploy when I follow the Knowledge Center instructions, but how can I list all of the container images in the IBM CR registry for CP4A ?

Using the ibmcloud cli, you can list container images for certain namespaces within icr.io, specifically the ibm namespace, but the cp namespace for Cloud Pak images cannot be listed by customers.

Even though customers can pull cp4a container images from the icr.io registry for the components they are entitled for with either the Marketplace entitlement-key, or public cloud entitlement key, the registry is restricted to read the contents. This can be observed when you login to the ibmcloud via cli:

$ ibmcloud login -a cloud.ibm.com -u <username> -p <password>

# if not already installed, install plugin for the CR

$ ibmcloud plugin install container-registry

$ ibmcloud cr region-set global

The region is set to 'global', the registry is 'icr.io

$ ibmcloud cr image-list --include-ibm # lists ibm images within general access namespace, no restrictions

$ ibmcloud cr image-list --include-ibm -restrict cp # lists the images in the cp namespace

Listing images..
