Images can be uploaded there (push) and downloaded from there (pull), in order to then run containers. The essential facts: - **Registry = image repository** (an analog of a Git storage, but for Docker images). - Allows **sharing images within a team** or distributing them publicly. - Works as a **source for deployment** - a server or CI/CD downloads the image directly from the registry. - Supports **versions (tags)** - an image can be stored as `v1`, `v2`, `latest` and rolled back when needed. Examples of registries: - **Docker Hub** - public by default. - **GitHub Container Registry / GitLab Registry** - for teams and CI. - **Private registry** - a company's own closed registry. If an image is a "container template", then a registry is a "remote shelf where those templates are kept and taken from".For the reviewerNote to the moderator (optional)Visible only to the moderator.
