Samsung Cloud Platform Container Registry
Samsung Cloud Platform Container Registry is a cloud service for storing, organizing, and sharing container images and OCI artifacts.
What Samsung Cloud Platform Container Registry is
Samsung Cloud Platform Container Registry is a cloud service for storing, organizing, and sharing container images and OCI artifacts. It supports container images, Helm charts, and the Docker Registry V2 API specification. Teams can manage registries, repositories, access, and image tags, and pull images with the standard Docker CLI. Repository security policies and lifecycle policies help govern stored images; lifecycle changes can be simulated. CVE-based scans return findings for images, packages, secrets, and language packages. Registry storage can connect to Object Storage with capacity configured as unlimited. Images are encrypted there and transferred over HTTPS, while repository permissions use Samsung Cloud Platform IAM policies. The service offers UI, API, and CLI interfaces, usage monitoring, and event logs for registries, repositories, and image tags. Its listed integrations include IDP, IAM, Object Storage, Cloud Monitoring, and Logging/Audit. A DR registry can be configured for repository redundancy. Pricing is on request; registry usage and scanning are billed by stored data and hours, and by scan count, respectively.
