## middleware
The middleware option is **optional** and allows middlewares to be injected at named hook points. A requirement of all middlewares is that they implement the same interface as the object they're wrapping. This means a registry middleware must implement the `distribution.Registry` interface, repository middleware must implement `distribution.Respository`, and storage middleware must implement `driver.StorageDriver`.

Currently only one middleware, cloudfront, a storage middleware, is included in the registry.
