A container repository stores related container images, letting you manage, pull, and push these images. A container registry stores several container repositories, API paths, and access control rules. Similarly to repositories, you can host registries publicly, privately, or through a third party.
Placing a container image in a container registry enables users to act as hosts, providing others with access. A container registry is ideal for hosting a native cloud application. Many container registry services support repositories, including Google Cloud Platform's Container Registry, AWS Elastic Compute Cloud Container Registry, and Azure Container Registry.
The Aqua security platform integrates with all major registries and scans the images and source code in the repositories, while automated repository discovery.
