Microsoft has announced the general availability of Azure Container Registry. The Azure Container Registry enables developers to create and maintain Azure container registries to store and manage private Docker container images. These containers act as a fast and portable way to shift and streamline into cloud-native apps.
The service which has been in the preview since November last year received a lot of customer feedback and now has moved to general availability as a network-close, private registry for Linux and Windows container images.
Improving upon the November Preview, Microsoft has added the following features and capabilities:
- Availability in 23 regions, with a global footprint (with more coming)
- Repositories, tag, and manifest listing in the Azure Portal
- Dual-key password providing key rotation
- Nested level repositories
- Azure CLI 2.0 support
Currently, the Azure Container Registry is available in the following regions with more to be added soon.
