A Container Registry is a centralized repository for storing and managing container images used in container-based software development and deployment. In the context of 01Cloud, a container registry allows users to securely store their container images and easily deploy them within their projects.
Purpose of container registries in 01Cloud:
-
Storage and Management: Container registries in 01cloud provide a secure and scalable storage solution for container images. Users can upload, store and manage their Docker Images, ensuring easy access and version control.
-
Integration with Projects: Container registries seamlessly integrate with projects on 01Cloud, allowing users to deploy containerized applications directly within their projects. This integration streamlines the deployment process and facilitates efficient management of containerized workloads.
-
Selection of Registry Providers: Users have the flexibility to choose their preferred container registry provider, such as Dockerhub or Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry). This choice allows users to leverage existing infrastructure and workflows while benefiting from the features and capabilities offered by their chosen provider.
-
Authentication and Security: To ensure secure access to container images, users must authenticate with their chosen registry provider. This typically involves providing credentials, such as Docker IDs and passwords for Dockerhub or AWS access keys for Amazon ECR. By authenticating with the registry provider, users can securely manage and deploy their container images within their projects on 01cloud.
