'Rather use the Jenkins Agent images from quay.io or from registry.redhat.io?

For updating my Jenkins Agents running in OpenShift, I consider using the Jenkins Agent image available at quay.io/openshift/origin-jenkins-agent-base:4.7. However, there is another one available at registry.redhat.io/openshift4/ose-jenkins-agent-base:v4.7.

Are there any substantial differences between these images?

If my research is correct (docker inspect ...), the one on registry.redhat.io is based on a Git commit from November 2021 (https://github.com/openshift/jenkins/commit/1524f28a04cf6882177968c95b11a8018596e05c), while the one on quay.io is based on a Git commit from February 2 2022 (https://github.com/openshift/jenkins/commit/1383028376d7619e1930d0f2a88aa00cce770226). And of course, the one at quay.io is available without any authentication.

It probably makes sense to use the quay images, if you want to stick to publicly available images.

Starting with v4.0, the images are only available on quay.io for public community support. Their pull specs are:

Please note, that this strongly depends if you're using OpenShift v3 (which is EOL) or OpenShift v4 https://github.com/openshift/jenkins#installation-openshift-v4
