Potential move from *.io domains

kubernetes/kubernetes#127966

TL;DR : the io TLD might go away (with a timeline on years scale).

Depending on the outcome of the above issue, we should pro-actively migrate our defaults registry address, just in case. (Might affect other adjacent things, like quay.io)

Not a big deal, but let's keep an eye on this

I think this issue should require many changes (e.g., domains for other images) and constant attention this.

Note: I think most of us generally don't actually expect that .io is going anywhere for the moment

but we are discussing preemptively making sure a project as large as Kubernetes has alternate domains parked. And discussing how we should NOT be making any more drastic changes.

Yeah, this is just for not forgetting about this on kubespray side :+1:
