IBM Cloud Container Registry is a managed registry service for storing and distributing OCI-compliant container images within the IBM Cloud platform. It integrates with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service and Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud for container deployment workflows. The service includes built-in vulnerability scanning for stored images and provides access control through IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management. It is intended for development teams building and deploying containerized applications on IBM Cloud infrastructure.

help IBM Cloud Container Registry FAQ

How do I log in to IBM Cloud Container Registry from the CLI?

You use the command 'ibmcloud cr login' with an authenticated IBM Cloud CLI session, which configures your local Docker client to push and pull. Images live in regional registry endpoints on the icr.io domain, such as us.icr.io or uk.icr.io.

Does IBM Cloud Container Registry include vulnerability scanning?

Yes, the integrated Vulnerability Advisor scans stored images and reports known CVEs directly in the console and CLI. You can set policies so that deployments from IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service or Red Hat OpenShift on IBM Cloud block images that fail the scan.

How does IBM Cloud Container Registry differ from Docker Hub?

It's a private, managed OCI-compliant registry native to IBM Cloud, with access controlled through IBM Cloud IAM rather than public namespace permissions. It also integrates directly with IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service and OpenShift deployments, including image pull secrets automation.
