NOT ON THE CURRENT EDITION
This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions, it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older, it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar.

skopeo is a command line utility that performs various operations on container images and image repositories. It doesn't require a user to be root to do most of its operations nor does it require a daemon to be running. It's a useful part of a CI pipeline; we've used it to copy images from one registry to another as we promote the images. It's better than doing a pull and a push as we don't need to store the images locally. It's not a new tool, but it's useful enough and underutilized that we felt it's worth calling it out.
