GitLab comes with a new Metadata Database for the Container Registry that offers improved performance and new features that are not available in the legacy metadata storage.

We'll migrate all existing Managed GitLab installations to the new Metadata Database. This requires at least a restart of each GitLab installation followed by a one-time migration of the existing registry data.

The duration of this migration depends on the amount of existing data in the container registry that needs to be processed and can span from just a few minutes up approximately an hour. During this migration the registry is in read-only mode, but GitLab itself remains fully usable.
