Description

Today, when updating a kurl cluster, there's a prompt to run a script to load images on the other nodes. While this works, this isn't a great experience, and can lead to issues if the script is not run.

It should be possible to bootstrap a registry and then rely on that instead of loading images local to every node.

Research direction

Start by tracing the kURL cluster update flow and the script currently used to load images on other nodes. Investigate how an air-gapped registry could be bootstrapped during an upgrade, and consider the work complete when upgrades no longer require manually running that script on each node.
