Alibaba Cloud Container Registry provides secure and trusted base container images from Alibaba Cloud and OpenAnolis. These images support multiple system architectures and include base OS images, base language images, and AI and big data images for application containerization, making your business containerization more efficient and secure.
Features of artifacts
Secure and trusted
Container images in the artifact center are built on Anolis OS and Alibaba Cloud Linux (Alinux). Anolis OS is developed by OpenAnolis and is compatible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) and CentOS. Alinux is an Anolis OS-based Linux distribution developed by Alibaba Cloud. The Alibaba Cloud OS team and OpenAnolis regularly fix Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) in images to protect container workloads against software supply chain threats.
Convenient
The artifact center is built on Container Registry Enterprise Edition instances and supports secure hosting and efficient distribution of OCI-compliant cloud-native artifacts, such as container images and Helm charts. It can distribute artifacts to 1,000 nodes simultaneously, ensuring a smooth experience during large-scale image pulls. If your images are also stored on a Container Registry Enterprise Edition instance, you can subscribe to artifact center images. Tags that match the subscription rules are automatically synchronized to the destination repository on your instance.
