Container Registry Open Beta is Now Available

Container Registry Open Beta is Now Available

You can now store your container images and run your Kubernetes applications entirely on UpCloud.

The missing piece of our container stack is here. Container Registry is now available in open beta. Instead of patching third-party registries or maintaining custom infrastructure, you can now secure your software supply chain from build to deploy. Store your images, Helm charts, and artifacts right next to your compute, all under one roof, on one network, on one bill.

From your next build to your next deployment

We designed Container Registry to drop seamlessly into your existing CI/CD pipelines. Because it is fully OCI-compliant, it works right out of the box with Docker CLI, Helm, and standard container runtimes. Push your newly built images to your UpCloud registry, and they are instantly ready for your cluster to pull.

By bringing your registry in-house, you gain four major advantages:

• Lightning-fast scaling: Your images live on the same high-speed network as UpCloud’s Managed Kubernetes. This drastically reduces the time spent fetching images when deploying updates or auto-scaling applications.
• No rate limiting or downtime headaches with upstream repositories. You don’t need to contend with per-seat pricing and rate limits of SaaS and traditional enterprise software vendors, just so that your containers and pods can restart.
• Broad compatibility: While perfectly tailored for our Managed Kubernetes, you can easily use our registry for Nomad or self-hosted Docker workloads.
• Accessibility: Manage granular access to your container and artifact repositories using built-in RBAC.

Transparent, storage-based pricing (with zero seat charges) 

There are absolutely no per-user charges, and image pulls incur zero data transfer fees. Adding a colleague or increasing your deployment frequency won’t add a single cent to your registry bill.

• Beta Starter: €9 / month for 25 GiB of storage.
• Beta Pro: €30 / month for 250 GiB of storage.

Additional storage on either plan is just €0.02 per GiB per month.

Start with your next release

Transitioning is easy. If you are already running a Kubernetes cluster or Docker on UpCloud, simply create a registry in your control panel, push an image, and update your deployment manifest to pull from the new URL. 

You can migrate one application at a time and bring the rest over at your own pace.
