Key notes
A Docker registry is a centralized and distributed storage system where Docker-named files and images can be stored to ease the software development process.
They contain multiple versions of the same file so developers can work hassle-free without worrying about creating the same images again and again.
A Docker registry is made up of Docker repositories. The repositories containing all the versions of a specific image or file.
The company JFrog developed an end-to-end solution that covers the full lifecycle of your Docker registry, allowing you to manage development, analyze vulnerabilities, do continuous integration and delivery, and control artifact flow and distribution.
