ORAS (OCI Registry As Storage) is a CLI tool and set of client libraries for pushing, pulling, and managing arbitrary OCI artifacts in OCI-compliant container registries. It treats media types as first-class, allowing non-container content like supply chain artifacts, packages, and files to be stored without masquerading as container images.

Use cases

  • push and pull arbitrary files to a container registry
  • attach SBOMs and signatures to container images
  • manage OCI artifacts across registries
  • store non-container artifacts in OCI registries
  • migrate artifacts between registries
  • work with OCI image layouts on the local file system
  • build a custom registry client in Go or Python

When to choose

  • you need to distribute non-container artifacts via OCI registries
  • you want to attach supply chain metadata to container images
  • you need a lightweight registry client without a Docker daemon
  • you're building tooling on top of OCI Distribution Spec APIs

When to avoid

  • you only need to build and push container images (use docker or buildah)
  • your registry does not implement the OCI distribution spec
  • you need general-purpose object storage rather than OCI registries
