Azure Container Registry

$ Budgetfrom $5/mo · Last reviewed May 2026

Azure Container Registry is Microsoft's managed, OCI-compliant registry for storing and managing container images and artifacts, aimed at teams deploying containers on Azure. It offers tiered service levels (Basic, Standard, and Premium) and includes vulnerability scanning via Microsoft Defender for Cloud. It is a managed cloud service and is not self-hostable. Rather than a standing free tier, it uses tiered daily pricing starting from a low entry level. The service holds SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, HIPAA, and PCI-DSS compliance.
