What Azure Container Registry is
Azure Container Registry is a paid service for storing and working with container images and OCI artifacts through web and API platforms. It includes image scanning, immutable tags, retention policies, and global replication. The service has Basic, Standard, and Premium plans, with prices billed per day but current amounts not rendered on the pricing page. Basic includes 10 GB of storage, allows up to 40 TB, and provides two webhooks. Standard includes 100 GB, keeps the 40 TB storage limit, and provides 10 webhooks. Premium includes 500 GB, raises the storage limit to 100 TB, and provides 500 webhooks. Each plan lists a 195 GB maximum image layer size. The directory facts also list 10 GB as included storage and 195 GB as the maximum image size. There is no free plan, so use depends on paid plan requirements for storage, webhooks, and registry controls.
