Infrastructure and quality enhancements for Azure Container Registry
Published date: April 29, 2024
We are excited to share the following significant enhancements to the Azure Container Registry (ACR) infrastructure:
- Increased Registry Size: Previously capped at 20TiB, ACR’s registry size has now been auto-upgraded to 40TiB for all customers. This expanded capacity ensures that you can store more container images without constraints.
- Geo-Replication Expansion: Geo-replication, a critical feature for redundancy and disaster recovery, can now be enabled for all registries over 20TiB. Additionally, we’ve optimized its performance, making it 10x faster than before.
We are actively working on further increasing the registry size to over 100TiB. This is in anticipation of the growing demand for larger workloads, especially those stemming from large language models (LLMs) and machine learning (ML) models.
These current and planned enhancements are designed to empower your container workflows and support your evolving needs.
