Container registry

The Container Registry is the centralized, secure hub for storing, managing, and distributing container images (OCI, Docker) for your application deployment pipeline.

A Container Registry acts as your single source of truth for all container images, providing a centralized location to store and manage artifacts. It is a critical component in any modern CI/CD workflow: Developers push newly built images to a repository (e.g., `docker push`), and orchestration systems like Kubernetes or AWS EKS pull them for deployment. Key features include vulnerability scanning, role-based access control (RBAC) for private repositories, and versioning via tags and SHA digests. Major providers like Docker Hub, Amazon ECR, and Azure Container Registry (ACR) offer managed services, ensuring fast, reliable distribution and global scalability for your cloud-native applications.
