| Fact | Distribution Registry | Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Container Registry |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | A typical CI/CD workflow can push a new image to the Registry after a successful build, then use a Registry notification to trigger deployment or notify other systems. | Oracle lists integrations with Kubernetes Engine, IAM, Visual Builder Studio, and third-party developer and DevOps tools. |
| Intended use | The project is aimed at teams that want control over image storage, their distribution pipeline, or integration with in-house development workflows. | Oracle says the registry is best used to store Docker images for containerized applications such as those deployed with Container Engine for Kubernetes. |
| Purpose | Distribution Registry is a stateless, highly scalable server-side application for storing and distributing container images and other content. | An Oracle-managed registry for storing, sharing, and managing container images. |
| Security | The Registry natively supports TLS and basic authentication; externally accessible registries must first be secured using TLS. | The product page describes end-to-end SSL encryption and built-in Docker Registry V2 token authentication. |
