Description

Skaffold dev when pushing images could leave behind a lot of clutter costing users money.

Currently our docs, mention user had to perform cleanup on their own for images pushed remotely.

This task involves

  1. documenting use of this new tool https://github.com/sethvargo/gcr-cleaner
  2. hooking it up with skaffold delete so skaffold can clean up remote pushed images,

Research direction
Start by reading the gcr cleaner README and documentation. Then explore skaffold's delete lifecycle by looking at the code in the pkg/skaffold directory for delete related files. Consider using skaffold's deployer interface to invoke gcr cleaner after image pushes. Check existing issues or PRs for similar cleanup integrations.
