Quick note on adding mirror registry to Aliyun Kubernetes Container Services (ACK)
Briefly

In order to mitigate issues with image pulling from docker.io due to the Great Firewall (GFW) in mainland China, users are encouraged to utilize mirror registries. For a Kubernetes cluster running in Aliyun, a specific solution was proposed that involves creating a hosts.toml configuration for containerd to redirect image requests. This allows the user to maintain a single configuration across different environments while effectively bypassing restrictions, ensuring reliability in deployments without the need for extensive configuration changes.
The mirrored registry feature of containerd allows you to bypass issues with pulling images from docker.io, essential for users in regions affected by GFW.
The method to set up a mirror registry involves creating a hosts.toml file tailored to configuring the required registry paths and capabilities.
