About

KakaoCloud Container Registry is a managed private cloud repository for storing and managing Docker container images. It supports standard Docker images and Docker CLI authentication, push and pull workflows, and integrates with KakaoCloud Kubernetes Engine for managing and deploying images. IAM roles distinguish repository members, who can push and pull, from viewers, who can pull only. Trivy vulnerability scans can run daily or automatically when images are pushed. Users can track image and tag history and recover previous versions or deleted tags. Repositories can also be public, allowing KakaoCloud-authenticated users who know the URI to pull without separate repository authentication. Default quotas are 1,000 repositories per project, 10,000 images per repository and 1,000 tags per image; increases can be requested. The service supports OCI artifacts, immutable tags, retention policies, lifecycle rules and S3 compatibility. Listed included storage is 1 GB; storage above 1 GiB costs 0.14 won per GiB per hour. Outbound traffic includes 30 GiB free; additional usage is billed by volume, with VAT excluded.

Who it is for

It suits teams using KakaoCloud Kubernetes Engine that need managed storage and access controls for container images. Teams can use the listed quotas as defaults and request increases if needed.
