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
