I have successfully got a pulp-crane setup on a devcloud test vm. I guess we are going with the following stack for the registry.

Mongo DB - backend datastore [Done]

QPID - Messaging [Done]

Pulp Server - Serves the docker repo. [Done]

Pulp Admin - Manage repo and also push build images into repo.

Crane - CDN backbone serving 302 redirects to pulp server for distribution of images (accessed through docker pulls) [Considering how to continuously deliver pulp updates to cranes sitting elsewhere - thoughts anyone?]

Solr - Allow searching of images (docker search) [Gotta get started on this, pointers anyone?]

Looking for feedback from you guys.
