New “JFrog Container Registry” provides a scalable, fully-hybrid container registry solution

San Diego, CA (Nov. 20, 2019) JFrog, creators of Artifactory and the Universal DevOps technology leader known for enabling liquid software via continuous update flows, today announced at KubeCon the launch of JFrog Container Registry – powered by JFrog Artifactory –  as the most comprehensive and advanced Docker container registry available in the market. A fully-hybrid solution, the registry is free and available to developers and DevOps engineers immediately from jfrog.com/container-registry.

JFrog Artifactory is already powering many of the world’s largest Docker workloads, including acting as a registry for global enterprises such as Oracle, Box, IBM Cloud, Atlassian, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley and more – all of which have scaled with Artifactory as their container registry.

“DevOps teams working with container technologies need a robust, flexible registry solution for container image management,” said Yoav Landman, CTO of JFrog. “Based off of JFrog Artifactory’s proven Docker management at scale, we believe JFrog Container Registry is the best choice for developers looking for a feature-rich, advanced, enterprise-grade registry both on-premise and in the cloud.”

JFrog Container Registry features:

• A robust Docker container registry
• Hybrid model: on-premise or via SaaS multi-cloud
• Advanced automation through REST, CLI, YAML, and more
• Full support for Helm
• Free support for local, virtual and remote repositories, including generics
• Secure registry technology, powered by JFrog Xray (soon)

The new hybrid container solution provides the registry and management tools for container images that are scalable and reliable, all while ensuring Docker images are protected from security vulnerabilities. It produces the world’s richest metadata through an Artifactory core, providing rich storage capabilities and fully-hybrid capabilities for maximum flexibility.

Modern DevOps teams are required to manage all types of binaries at scale, with most modern microservices-based architectures being developed using Docker containers. In support of this market trend, JFrog Container Registry is a flexible solution that can be used self-hosted or in a SaaS model, both of which are free to use.

“As more organizations gravitate towards containers for delivering their applications, we are seeing increasing demand from DevOps professionals for the capabilities a container registry provides,” said Jim Mercer, Research Director, DevOps at IDC. “As container management continues to mature, we are going to see more innovation in this space to make container technologies easier to adopt, automate and secure.”

Plans for near-future updates to the JFrog Container Registry include free security capabilities and OCI compatibility among other enhancements. The JFrog Container Registry is available immediately for free at jfrog.com/container-registry.
