Harbor is an open‑source cloud‑native container registry that adds security, identity, and management features to Docker Distribution. It provides image storage, vulnerability scanning, signing, and role‑based access control.

Use cases

  • store and manage Docker and OCI images in a private registry
  • scan container images for known vulnerabilities before deployment
  • sign images to ensure integrity and trust across environments
  • replicate images between multiple Harbor instances or external registries
  • enforce role‑based access control for different project teams
  • integrate with CI/CD pipelines for automated image publishing

When to choose

  • You need a self‑hosted, enterprise‑grade container registry with built‑in security features.
  • Your organization runs Kubernetes or Docker workloads and wants native integration.
  • Compliance requirements demand image vulnerability scanning and signing.

When to avoid

  • You only need a simple, lightweight registry without extra security or UI features.
  • You prefer a fully managed SaaS registry and want to avoid operational overhead.
  • Your environment does not support Kubernetes or Docker.
