Container Registry Personal Edition gives individual developers a free, lightweight way to store and manage container images. Create an instance to push images to repositories, set up automated builds, and pull images for local development or personal deployments.
Personal Edition is intended for development and testing only. It is in public preview, provided free of charge to a limited number of users, and does not include a service level agreement (SLA) guarantee or SLA compensation. Do not use it in production environments.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure that you have:
An Alibaba Cloud account verified as a personal type (not a Resource Directory account)
Completed real-name verification. If you plan to create the instance in a Chinese mainland region, select the Have purchase plan option in the The Chinese Mainland Resources Procurement section on the real-name verification page.
The AliyunContainerRegistryFullAccess or AliyunContainerRegistryReadOnlyAccess policy attached to RAM users in your account
Each Alibaba Cloud account is limited to one Personal Edition instance. Starting September 9, 2024, new users must select a region at creation time, and the service can only be used in that region afterward. For details, see Limits on new Personal Edition instances.
Limits
Personal Edition instances do not support API operations.
Enterprise aliases that contain a half-width period (.) are not supported when a RAM user logs in to the image registry.
If you use a RAM user to log on to the Container Registry console, create a Personal Edition instance first to view all repositories.
