We are a Microsoft partner with solutions designations and specializations in Azure. We have about one thousand customers running on Azure, to whom we provide managed services through our local Microsoft arrangement in EMEA. We do have extensive experience in Azure networking, infrastructure platforms, and data analytics. We have three teams covering application and data analytics, storage configuration, networking, public endpoints, and the like. We manage Service Fabric for two customers. We have more experience with Service Fabric than pure containers on AKS or IPS.

The most valuable feature of Azure Container Registry is that it is a single entity that owns the application image. You put your images there, and it allows you to run the application anywhere based on that image. The whole package is valuable as it allows for easy application cloning and deployment.

Muhammad Usman Khawar

Software Engineer (DevOps/ SRE) at Sensys LLC

We use GitHub for our repository. For our CI/CD flow, we publish our container images to ACR using the available GitHub Actions. For the CI process, we publish the images, and for deployment, we use AKS. Once the images are pushed to ACR, they are pulled into our AKS clusters, completing the deployment. If your infrastructure is hosted on Azure, it's one of the best online solutions. I've utilized peer support and documentation, and in terms of cost benefits, resiliency, high availability, and security features, it remains one of the top options. I recommend it to anyone deploying Docker files and containers. Overall, I rate the solution an eight out of ten.

Valuable Features

"The whole package is valuable as it allows for easy application cloning and deployment."
"It's running behind a big financial and legal customer, who runs Service Fabric behind a front door, servicing local banking containers on an ISV solution developed internally."
"Azure Container Registry is an easy-to-install, easy-to-configure, and easy-to-deploy solution."

Room for Improvement

"There is a need for a graphical interface instead of writing code in Visual Studio to create images."
"The building of images on the container is quite cumbersome."
"They can improve their scalability."

ROI

Azure Container Registry offers operational efficiency and high availability, allowing organizations to save significantly on repository costs. While some users highlight the same functionality as on-premise solutions like JFrog Artifactory, they find Azure Container Registry necessary for compliance with certain security protocols. Although it offers benefits in horizontal scaling, the perceived direct financial return may vary depending on individual use cases and infrastructure requirements.

Pricing

"I would rate the pricing four out of ten."
"The product is competitively priced."
"When using Azure Container Registry, it was $1.5 or $1.6 per day, but I'm unsure how much it costs today."
