Container Registry

Introduction​

Container Registry is a service for storing private container images. It provides a subset of features provided by Artifact Registry, a universal repository manager and the recommended service for managing container images and other artifacts.

Artifact​

A service for storing and managing artifacts in private repositories, including container images, and Helm charts.

Artifact Registry extends the capabilities of Container Registry. In addition to supporting multiple artifact formats, the service provides additional benefits such as:

  • Ability to create multiple discrete repositories in the same region.

Working with your images​

Many people use Docker Hub as a central registry for storing public Docker images, but to control access to your images you need to use a private registry such as Container Registry.

You can access the registry through secure HTTPS endpoints, which allow you to push, pull, and manage images from any system.
