From 92978f02b5d76feef08e6786a6d89a27e26983a0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: parmstro Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2026 17:57:48 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Optimize sync for repositories with specific tag lists Add bypass optimization to skip expensive /tags/list pagination when syncing container repositories with specific (non-wildcard) tag lists. When include_tags contains only specific references without wildcards, and exclude_tags is empty or contains only harmless patterns that won't match the includes (e.g., *-source), the sync bypasses /tags/list enumeration entirely and fetches manifests directly. Cosign companion tags (signatures, attestations, SBOMs) are discovered via concurrent HEAD request probing instead of full tag enumeration, maintaining security artifact discovery while avoiding expensive pagination through deep tag lists. Performance impact: Reduces sync time from 3-8 minutes to ~20 seconds for repositories with 50,000+ tags when syncing specific digest references. Changes: - Add auto_discover_cosign field to ContainerRemote model (default True) - Implement _can_bypass_taglist() detection in ContainerFirstStage - Add _discover_cosign_companions_without_taglist() for HEAD probing - Add _tag_exists() helper for tag existence validation - Pass mirror parameter through synchronize() to ContainerFirstStage - Add database migration for auto_discover_cosign field - Add comprehensive unit test coverage closes #2474 --- CHANGES/2474.feature | 1 + ...46_containerremote_auto_discover_cosign.py | 16 ++ pulp_container/app/models.py | 1 + pulp_container/app/tasks/sync_stages.py | 137 +++++++++++++++++- pulp_container/app/tasks/synchronize.py | 2 +- pulp_container/tests/unit/test_sync_stages.py | 120 +++++++++++++++ 6 files changed, 275 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) create mode 100644 CHANGES/2474.feature create mode 100644 pulp_container/app/migrations/0046_containerremote_auto_discover_cosign.py diff --git a/CHANGES/2474.feature b/CHANGES/2474.feature new file mode 100644 index 000000000..6e644930d --- /dev/null +++ b/CHANGES/2474.feature @@ -0,0 +1 @@ +Optimize sync performance for repositories with specific tag lists by bypassing expensive /tags/list pagination when include_tags contains only non-wildcard references.
