1.2 Mirror into the trust boundary

On this page you understand why the published Hummingbird digest must land inside a registry the hub trusts. You do not run oc-mirror during the ten-minute walk.

Why this control exists

Field delivery mirrors signed bases into an internal registry so builds never pull the public catalog at build time. The digest that lands on the FROM line is the dest digest after the mirror, not a mutable tag from the public internet.

Learning objectives

  • Explain why a dest digest is recorded in source

  • Name oc-mirror as the transfer tool without treating it as a live Check on this hub

Your change

On a prepared demo hub, the mirrored digest is already in source and in the build path. Do not start an oc-mirror job on camera.

If you are building a disconnected procedure offline, follow the product docs for oc-mirror plugin v2, then record the dest digest for track 3.

Check

Confirm the spoken sentence: the hub names the Hummingbird mirror; it does not perform it live. The ten-minute walk starts from a cluster where that digest is already bound in source.

# Optional offline rehearsal only — not part of the ten-minute clock.
# oc-mirror ...
# Record the dest digest for the FROM line in application source.

Official documentation

  • oc-mirror plugin v2

  • Disconnected installation mirroring

Key takeaways

  • Mirror first, then bind the dest digest in git.

  • Physical air-gap transfer is a different procedure. This hub stays networked.
