krane

krane

This tool is a variant of the crane command, but builds in support for authenticating against registries using common credential helpers that find credentials from the environment.

In particular this tool supports authenticating with common "workload identity" mechanisms on platforms such as GKE and EKS.

This additional keychain logic only kicks in if alternative authentication mechanisms have NOT been configured and crane would otherwise perform the command without credentials, so it is a drop-in replacement for crane that adds support for authenticating with cloud workload identity mechanisms.
