What Cosmoner Container Registry is
Cosmoner Container Registry is a managed private registry, backed by Amazon ECR, for storing container images used by apps. Developers can push and pull images from a laptop or CI setup using Docker and a Cosmoner API key. Images in a project registry appear in the Apps image deployment flow, which authenticates deployments without a pull secret. Image scanning on push is enabled by default and checks for known vulnerabilities. Images use AES256 encryption by default, with an option to use a customer KMS key for repositories created afterward. Retention settings can preserve a chosen number of recent images and expire untagged ones after a selected number of days. Repositories are private by default; public repositories need a monthly egress cap and revert to private when it is reached. The service lists nine regions across North America, Europe, and Asia Pacific, but a registry's region cannot be changed after creation. Uploading images is free; storage, egress, and the registry fee are billed separately. The listed starting price is $1/mo.
