[2025-03-18] Upgrade to Artifact Registry

[trivikr]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Container Registry is deprecated and scheduled for shutdown on 2025-03-18.
Google Cloud recommends upgrading to Artifact Registry: https://cloud.google.com/artifact-registry/docs/transition/prepare-gcr-shutdown

The nodejs-org project uses Container Registry

$ gcloud container images list-gcr-usage --project=nodejs-org --filter="usage=ACTIVE"
---
repository: gcr.io/nodejs-org
usage: ACTIVE

Describe the solution you'd like

Follow guide for Set up repositories with gcr.io domain support https://cloud.google.com/artifact-registry/docs/transition/setup-gcr-repo

@trivikr do you know what the project uses gcr.io for right now?

The metrics stuff running on GCP is all running on containers on gcr.io. We appear to be missing documentation and/or automation on how to rebuild/update/upload the containers.

@richardlau is that everything? Just wanted to be sure there was nothing beyond the metrics stuff.

AFAIK

When I looked at GCP Container registry for errors as part of debugging download stats in #3697, I verified that they contain docker images for only running metrics stuff as Richard mentioned.

We appear to be missing documentation and/or automation on how to rebuild/update/upload the containers.

That's right. I posted GCP docs for Container Registry in Node.js 20 upgrade PR in #3767 (comment), and GCP Artifact Registry docs in this issue description to follow whenever migration is prioritized.
