Registering Workloads

A compute-to-data workload is a signed, versioned description of executable code. It can reference a container image or another runtime package supported by the network.

Registration binds the workload to:

• its publisher identity and signature;
• an immutable package or image digest;
• its runtime and entry point;
• declared resource and network requirements;
• expected inputs, outputs and artifacts;
• a versioned execution interface.

Nodes resolve and verify the digest before execution. Mutable tags such as latest are not sufficient workload identities.

Registration makes a workload available for authorization; it does not grant access to buckets or allow immediate execution.
