Cosmoner Container Registry vs lazer.sh

Cosmoner Container Registry is a managed private registry backed by Amazon ECR for storing container images used by apps. Developers can push and pull images from a laptop or CI system with Docker and a Cosmoner API key. Images in a project registry appear in the Apps image deployment flow, where deployments authenticate without a pull secret. Scanning on push is enabled by default and checks images against known vulnerabilities. Images use AES256 encryption by default, with a customer KMS key available for repositories created afterward. Retention settings can keep a selected number of recent images and expire untagged images after a chosen number of days. Repositories are private by default; public repositories require a monthly egress cap and revert to private when it is reached. The product lists nine regions across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, and a registry’s region cannot be changed after creation. Uploads are not charged; egress, storage, and a registry fee are billed separately. The registry fee is $1 a month, prorated from creation; storage is $0.25 a month per GB, and egress is $0.15 a month per GB after the first 10 GB per organization per billing period.

lazer.sh is a private container registry for storing and distributing container images, with Linux, web, and API access. It implements the OCI Distribution Specification and works with Docker, Podman, nerdctl, crane, skopeo, and Kubernetes without a plugin or wrapper. The maker says images are served from more than 330 edge locations. Pulls are unlimited and unmetered on every tier, including Free, with no egress fees; storage charges are based on compressed layer bytes and deduplicated within each project. Keys can be limited by project, repository, actions, and expiry date. A JSON management API handles project, repository, key, and member operations, and the documentation includes a GitHub Actions guide for image pushes. Retention rules can remove untagged images. Free includes 5 GB of storage, two projects, and five members per project. Hobby costs $4.99 per month; Pro costs $24.99 per month. The service is in private beta, with invite-only signup. Its terms state a 99.9% monthly availability target for pulls, without a contractual guarantee or service credits.
