Requires minimal overhead and has good security features
Pros and Cons
- "Azure Container Registry is an easy-to-install, easy-to-configure, and easy-to-deploy solution."
What is our primary use case?
What is most valuable?
Azure Container Registry is an easy-to-install, easy-to-configure, and easy-to-deploy solution. The solution requires minimal overhead. To manage our own Azure Container Registry, we go to Azure, create a registry for us, and start publishing the images.
The way Azure RBAC is configured, our oldest access control, allows us to leverage that so that no one can push it, and we can use it in our solution. I used Azure Container Registry with my Azure Batch job to run the tagging solution.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Azure Container Registry for six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I rate Azure Container Registry ten out of ten for stability.
