Welcome to Container Registry. This is going to be a rather brief lecture because all I want to do here is introduce you to Container Registry.
So what is an Azure Container Registry? Well, an Azure container registry is really just a managed, private Docker registry in Azure. It's based on the open-source Docker Registry 2.0. You use Azure container registries to store and manage private Docker container images along with related artifacts.
You can use Azure container registries with existing container development and deployment pipelines, or you can use Azure Container Registry Tasks to build container images in Azure.
You can pull images from an Azure container registry to various deployment targets, including orchestration systems like Kubernetes and Docker Swarm, and you can also pull images from the container registry to Azure services that help you build and run apps at scale. These services include Azure Kubernetes Service, App Service, Service Fabric, and several others.
In the upcoming demonstration, we'll create a container registry with the Azure portal.
