Azure Container Registry
A registry of Docker and Open Container Initiative (OCI) images, with support for all OCI artifacts.
Simplify container lifecycle management
Build, store, secure, scan, replicate, and manage container images and artifacts with a fully managed, geo-replicated instance of OCI distribution. Connect across environments, including Azure Kubernetes Service and Azure Red Hat OpenShift, and across Azure services like App Service, Machine Learning, and Batch.
Geo-replication to efficiently manage a single registry across multiple regions
OCI artifact repository for adding Helm charts, Singularity support, and new OCI artifact-supported formats
Automated container building and patching including base image updates and task scheduling
Integrated security with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) authentication, role-based access control, Docker Content Trust, and virtual network integration
Store your container images and beyond
Utilize pipelines for development and patching
Scale globally with a few clicks
Put private images on a private network
Get both the security of a private network and the robustness of a managed, geo-replicated service, using Azure Virtual Network integration and firewall rules. Restrict access to your registry to services deployed within a virtual network—for example, to an Azure Kubernetes Service instance.
Help safeguard content delivery with Content Trust
Ensure the content you pull from the registry is the content run on the node. Sign container images you push to the registry and configure image consumers to verify image integrity upon pulling.
Check images with Azure Security Center integration
Continuously scan images on Azure Container Registry. Discover known vulnerabilities in packages or other dependencies defined in the container image file. Receive vulnerability assessments and recommendations, including specific remediation guidance.
