Microsoft Azure Container Registry

Microsoft Azure Container Registry - An Overview

Microsoft Azure Container Registry (ACR) is a managed, Docker registry service that enables you to build, store, and manage container images and artifacts in a private registry for all types of container deployments. It has the ability to integrate perfectly with other container services, enabling smooth deployment of containerized applications. Applications Manager's Azure Container Registry Monitoring tool provides you with in-depth monitoring of the various major KPIs including Storage usage, Image pull/ push statistics etc.. for your Azure Container Registries.
