DigitalOcean Container Registry

What DigitalOcean Container Registry is

DigitalOcean Container Registry is a web service for storing container images and OCI artifacts, with image scanning included. Its three listed plans differ by repository count, storage, and—on the Professional tier—registry allowance. Starter is free and includes one repository with 500 MiB of storage. Basic costs $5 a month and provides five repositories and 5 GiB. Professional costs $20 a month and includes unlimited repositories, 100 GiB of storage, and up to 10 registries. The listed paid plans are billed monthly. This gives users a free option for a small repository and storage allowance, plus paid tiers with more capacity and repositories. The service is available on the web. DigitalOcean was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in New York, New York, USA. Choosing a tier depends on the number of repositories and registries needed and the storage required for images and artifacts.
