Frequently Asked Questions

What is a container registry?

A service that stores and distributes container images so clusters and developers can pull them by name and tag.

Which registry should I use?

Use the registry on your cloud (ECR, Artifact Registry, ACR) for simplicity, or Harbor, Quay or Artifactory for self-hosting, replication and policy.

What happened to Google Container Registry?

It was replaced by Google Artifact Registry.

How do I secure a registry?

Scan images, sign them (for example with Cosign), enforce access control and immutable tags, and use a private mirror for base images.
