I'm glad we sorted that out! > My next goals to try the Amason ECR repository instead docker hub and understand what is the camel-k-operator actually doing. Yeah, I'd say it is more natural fit, and it would overcome the rate limitation you have on Docker Hub. If you are successful, feel free to contribute with some documentation, I'll be happy to support you with that too. > A couple of questions, if it's still possible :-) > The docker repository is used for deploying images that contain particular integration and environment to run it. And the main advantages of camel-k are the automatic creation and deployment of these images (I can pick up them and deploy them manually to the Kubernative), right? The docker registry is used to store the base images used for the `Integration`s. The operator creates `IntegrationKit`s which are mainly composed by the maven dependencies that will be needed by your `Integration`. The operator has the intelligence to understand what your `Integration` requires and to pick the best `IntegrationKit` or create one, if none is matching. Ideally you can use the base images kits manually, but I don't think it's something you really want/need to do. > Where can I read more details about camel-k-operator (what is it actually doing)? We have documentation in the Camel community website. You can look the [camel k operator](https://camel.apache.org/camel-k/latest/architecture/operator.html) part, specifically. In any case, feel free to contact us if you have any further question. Also, if this problem has solved, feel free to close this issue :) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
