This topic describes the differences between Container Registry Personal Edition instances and Enterprise Edition instances.

Usage notes of Personal Edition instances

Container Registry Personal Edition is designed for individual developers. This edition is in public preview and is provided free of charge to a limited number of users. Alibaba Cloud does not provide a service level agreement (SLA) guarantee and SLA compensation for Container Registry Personal Edition and imposes limits on the use of the edition. The following section describes the differences between Personal Edition instances and Enterprise Edition instances. We recommend that you upgrade your instances to Enterprise Edition instances to experience the comprehensive features of Container Registry.

Important
  • Container Registry Personal Edition is used only for development and testing. Do not use Container Registry Personal Edition in production environments.

  • Container Registry Personal Edition instances do not support API operations.
