Container Registries - JSON

Container registries are central repositories for storing, managing, and distributing Docker images and OCI-compliant artifacts. Various solutions exist from cloud providers and open-source projects, including Docker Hub, GitHub Container Registry, AWS ECR, Azure ACR, and Google Artifact Registry, each offering different integration features, security capabilities, and pricing models. They provide essential features for enterprise container operations such as CI/CD pipeline integration, vulnerability scanning, immutable tags, and access control.
