Azure Container Registry

Azure Container Registry acts as a private repository for container images and OCI artifacts. It handles the storage and management needed for various container deployments, serving as the central hub where you push, store, and pull your containerized applications within the Azure ecosystem.

This service suits teams already operating in Azure who need a managed registry without self-hosting overhead. The main friction point is the lack of a free tier, meaning every deployment incurs pay-as-you-go costs from the start. You cannot test or prototype without immediately incurring charges, which adds financial overhead for smaller projects or experimental workflows.
