<p>Is <a href="https://jfrog.com/container-registry/" rel="noreferrer">the registry</a> a pivot for JFrog product portfolio or is it some set of additional capabilities? The functionality is very interesting either way but it would be nice to to understand the details.</p>

<p>In a nutshell, <a href="https://jfrog.com/container-registry/" rel="noreferrer">JFrog Container Registry</a> <strong>is</strong> Artifactory. It is the same codebase, the same architecture and mostly the same features.
You get:</p>

<ul>
<li>Unlimited Docker and Helm registries*

<ul>
<li>local registries for your images</li>
<li>remote proxies of remote registries</li>
<li>virtual registries (a single URL to access any combination of other registries)</li>
</ul></li>
<li>Free and immediate promotion (you can move your images between registries with an API call, without pulling/pushing)</li>
<li>Build metadata with Artifactory Query Language
and other stuff you might know from Artifactory, like the flexible and intuitive RBAC. We will also introduce security scanning with JFrog Xray soon.</li>
</ul>

<p>Best difference? The JFrog Container Registry is free, both on-prem and in the cloud!</p>

<p><sup>*We call them “repositories” in Artifactory</sup></p>
