Azure Container Registry Primary Use Case

Marek Kubovic - PeerSpot reviewer
Cloud and DevOps Architect at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

Our company uses the solution to store docker or other types of images for products and software that we are developing. We use the solution for its intended purpose and how most other companies use it.

We have some pipelines in Azure DevOps and we store images created through the pipelines in our registry. We use the registry for deployments. 

We work for a contractor who has thousands of projects. It is difficult to determine how many people use the solution because of the number of projects. It seems to be the trend with their projects to use the solution along with AK and Kubernetes clusters. Our specific team includes 15 people who use the solution quite often.

We used Docker, and we aren't using the typical monolith model. We've changed to the microservices model, so we first used Docker for every microservices and then deployed that to different types of clusters. For example, in West Europe, and then the US, etc. We needed help storing those images, so we used Azure Container Registry for image and artifact storage when deploying to multi-regional clusters.

The institution I work in intended to go with the Azure App Service with Docker containers, and Azure Container Registry fits the bill.

During the standard Azure DevOps pipeline, the institution built the container and then pushed the container directly to Azure Container Registry. Then, in the next stage of the same DevOps pipeline, the institution pulls the Docker image from the Azure App Service, which is already deployed to Azure Container Registry.

Overall, the Azure App Service posts the Docker images through its connection with the Azure Container Registry.

The solution is really useful because whenever you want to deploy the containers, you need to have a place to store those container codes so that they can deploy easily. It is always better to store those codes in the solution itself so that you can deploy them through the pipelines. That is where Azure Container Registry comes into the picture. And also, it can duplicate to different zones and locations.

We use the solution for image processing. We store and manage images. You can utilize the tools to recognize and organize images. For example, you have an image and gather two more images, each with different versions and tagging system. You should filter different variations of these images. Based on the algorithm, you can generate multiple images and then deploy them using Docker for testing or in AKS. We should know how to create and tag the image as part of microservices.

It's a container repository. It's like a Docker hub. With it, you can post the image of the container right there.

I am a DevOps consultant. I provide the architecture, assessments, and optimization of the services that we use to build a better infrastructure, and other services.

We are basically using Azure Container Registry for a project that we have in the healthcare domain. There, we use the container registry and as well as Azure DevOps, apart from the Azure Cloud and the built release pipeline, along with this container registry and the self-hosted server. 

I would say that this allows us to build, store, and manage the container images and the artifact in the private registry that Azure provides. 

It's a managed container registry that we don't need to configure or set up within our premises. It's all in the cloud. The login and the portal id where we can store that information, and the containers. 

We can also see a list of images located in the repository. For example, I can pull any Docker image using the Docker command. I can then store that image within the repository, within this Docker Registry Container.

I don't have to go to the Docker Hub or any other hub. This is one of the safest private repositories over the cloud that I have, that I can use.

This is one of the most beneficial solutions to be used over the cloud.

I work for a logistics business, so we have a few applications and we apply them to Azure. We pull the codes, stop at the Docker images, and then we push it to the Container for tracking.

We use it for some specific machine learning models to take advantage of the elasticity of the containers. This is the main use of containers.

Around 80% of our implementation is on the public cloud, but in some cases, we use a hybrid model. Our clients are large businesses.
