What is Container Registry?
A storage and distribution service for Docker container images.
Why It Matters
Container registries let you store, version, and share your container images across environments and teams.
Real-World Example
Pushing your Docker image to AWS ECR so your production servers can pull and run it.
“Understanding terms like Container Registry matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
