Container Registry Personal Edition provides individual developers with basic features to manage the lifecycle of container images. Individual developers can use instances of this edition for learning purposes or for deploying containers in their own business. This topic describes how to create a Container Registry Personal Edition instance.
Usage notes
Starting from September 9, 2024, you must select a region when you create a Container Registry Personal Edition instance. You can use the Personal Edition instance only in the region. For more information, see Limits on new Personal Edition instances.
Before you create a Personal Editon instance in the Chinese mainland or China (Hong Kong), you must complete a real-name registration. You cannot use an account of the resource directory type to create a Personal Edition instance.
Personal Editon instances can only be used by individual users. You must register as an individual in the real-name registration.
When you use a RAM user to log on to the image repository, you cannot use periods (.) in your enterprise alias.
If you use a RAM user to log on to the Container Registry console, you must create a Container Registry Personal Edition instance before you can view all repositories.
Container Registry Personal Edition is used only for development and testing. Do not use it in the production environment.
Container Registry Personal Edition is designed for individual developers. This edition is in public preview and is provided free of charge to limited users. Alibaba Cloud does not provide service level agreement (SLA) guarantee and SLA compensation for Container Registry Personal Edition, and has limits on using the edition.

Make sure that your Personal Edition instance is created by using an Alibaba Cloud account and the AliyunContainerRegistryFullAccess or AliyunContainerRegistryReadOnlyAccess policy is attached to RAM users in the Alibaba Cloud account.
