What it is

Volcengine Container Registry stores OCI-compliant artifacts, including container images and Helm charts, and provides tools to manage their lifecycle. Users can push, pull, and clean up images with Docker, Nerdctl, or Helm. Image scans can report vulnerabilities, malicious or unexpected files, and possible remediation. The service also supports IAM policies for user authorization and resource-level permissions. Standard Edition instances can use server-side image encryption when enabled at creation. Standard Edition can replicate images and Helm charts across instances, regions, and repositories, with up to five enabled rules per account. Proxy caches can draw from Docker Hub, GHCR, and self-hosted Docker registries. The registry integrates with Volcengine Kubernetes Engine for internal-network image pulls, and Standard Edition supports P2P acceleration for large cluster pulls. Micro Edition provides five namespaces and 500 GiB of storage; Standard Edition provides 50 namespaces and unlimited namespace storage by default. A free Trial Edition costs nothing, but is quota-limited and cannot expand its quota. Subscription prices listed for Chinese mainland are 50 CNY a month for Micro Edition and 1,349 CNY a month for Standard Edition, per instance.
