Nice to see more competition in the container registry space, I guess companies will be comparing the free/paid tiers from different providers a lot now.<p>Looking at this announcement seems like their pricing on data pulled rather than number of image pulls.<p>And, I guess unsurprisingly, if you're running in AWS you get unlimited pulls from this public registry, so it'll be better if you're already an AWS house.<p>I wonder how they'll deal with typo-squatting risks...
I doubt this will be more popular than GitHub's public-access registry[0], but it's good to see more public registries coming online - people had gotten too comfortable with Docker Hub being almost entirely free.<p>0: <a href="https://github.blog/2020-09-01-introducing-github-container-registry/" rel="nofollow">https://github.blog/2020-09-01-introducing-github-container-...</a>
PSA: If you have a personal AWS account and you want some custom url path for your public images (like public.ecr.aws/sparrc/myimage) then login and create your public registry and custom alias ASAP.
I hope AWS has plans to reach out to maintainers for things on Dockerhub to get them to mirror here.<p>Or at least be a steward in maintaining containers themselves (Dockerhub has the concept of Verified Publishers IIRC).<p>Worst case here might be lots of containers showing up here that aren't by the same organization maintaining the equivalent Dockerhub containers, would get really annoying to deal with.
