For the past few days, pulling `gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2` has failed sporadically: ``` $ docker pull gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2 Error response from daemon: unknown: failed to resolve reference "gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2": unexpected status from HEAD request to https://gcr.io/v2/google_containers/pause/manifests/3.2: 400 Bad Request ``` Also Artifact Hub scanning is failing: ``` error scanning image gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2: error running trivy on image gcr.io/google_containers/pause:3.2: 2026-02-11T18:45:49Z FATAL Fatal error run error: image scan error: scan error: scan failed: failed analysis: unable to get the image ID: unable to get the image ID: GET https://gcr.io/v2/google_containers/pause/blobs/sha256:80d28bedfe5dec59da9ebf8e6260224ac9008ab5c11dbbe16ee3ba3e4439ac2c: NAME_INVALID: Request contains an invalid argument. (package linkerd-multicluster:2025.10.6) ``` It appears the `gcr.io/google_containers` registry is no longer favored and instead the `registry.k8s.io` has been what's [officially supported](https://kubernetes.io/blog/2022/11/28/registry-k8s-io-faster-cheaper-ga/), so we're switching to that one.
