What is the STACKIT Container Registry?
The STACKIT Container Registry is a cloud-native registry for securely and efficiently storing, managing, and distributing container images within the STACKIT Cloud. The service is currently in beta and is being actively developed by STACKIT. All images are stored in German data centers.
Core Features
- Centralized image management: Storage of container images with support for multiple architectures and operating systems
- Vulnerability scanning with Trivy: Automated vulnerability detection on every image push, including notifications and configurable policies
- Role-based access control (RBAC): Granular permissions at the project level via the STACKIT portal
- Replication: Distributing images across multiple registries for availability and disaster recovery
- CI/CD compatibility: Integration with Jenkins, GitLab CI, CircleCI, Kubernetes, and Docker Swarm
Typical Use Cases
CI/CD pipelines: Build pipelines push new images to the registry, from where they are pulled directly into Kubernetes or Docker environments within the STACKIT Cloud.
Microservices platforms: Teams manage numerous microservice images centrally with versioning and automated security scanning.
Benefits
- GDPR-compliant, as images are stored exclusively in German data centers
- Lower latency because images and applications reside in the same cloud infrastructure
- Integrated vulnerability scanning reduces security risks early
- Free to use during the beta phase
Integration with innFactory
As an official STACKIT partner, innFactory supports setting up a secure container registry: from CI/CD integration to configuring vulnerability scanning and connecting Kubernetes deployments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the STACKIT Container Registry?
A cloud-native registry that lets you securely and efficiently store, manage, and distribute container images within the STACKIT Cloud. The service is currently in beta.
What does the STACKIT Container Registry cost?
Usage is free during the beta phase. A pay-per-use model is expected once beta ends; STACKIT publishes binding prices on its official pricing page.
How does vulnerability scanning work?
Container images are automatically scanned for known vulnerabilities using Trivy. Scans trigger on push, users receive notifications for detected issues, and policies can block pulling insecure images.
Can the registry be integrated into existing CI/CD pipelines?
Yes, the registry is compatible with common CI/CD tools such as Jenkins, GitLab CI, and CircleCI, as well as with Kubernetes and Docker Swarm.
