Fast, secure, and has no downtime; it also has a role-based access feature

I'm not an active Azure Container Registry user, but I faced some issues, which Azure rectified after six months of usage. During the deployment, my company had a multi-stage pipeline, so whenever the team deploys via the Docker run command or generates an image, the issue arises. The problem is that whenever a new image is generated, that new Docker image isn't updated in Azure Container Registry, so that's an area for improvement. As soon as the deployment is over, my team has to go to Azure Container Registry to delete the image and start the pipeline, and only then will the image be updated. The new image isn't reflected in Azure Container Registry after deployment. My team had to take extra steps for the new image to reflect. Before 2020, Azure Container Registry didn't have the option to scan vulnerabilities, as I've heard from my team lead. After 2020, that feature was introduced in the tool, so as long as that feature is available, then Azure Container Registry is okay. I can't think of any other features to add to it in the next version.

Suitable for OCI environment but needs to improve pricing

We haven’t had any problems with the setup of Oracle. The deployment will take less than seven to ten days since it can give good reports. For deployment, we first need to understand the customer requirements and build the architecture around the deployment. We have the customer sign off on it and then go into the software deployment side. This is the proper life cycle of how to do it in the enterprise space. There are a lot of thoughts around the initial way or how we need to structure and architect the environment. For enterprises, it is a complex process. It will take one to two months to have all the sign-offs before we can go into implementation. It is followed across all the installations. I rate the initial setup of the solution a ten out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The portability and elasticity features are the most valuable."

"Feature-wise, the security model and access controls are pretty straightforward and valuable"

"Pricing is reasonable."

"The solution has built-in resiliency and replication zone availability so it is very stable."

"The scanning of Docker images is the most valuable feature."

"One of the benefits of this solution is that it's private and secure."

"It's running behind a big financial and legal customer, who runs Service Fabric behind a front door, servicing local banking containers on an ISV solution developed internally."

"What I like best about Azure Container Registry is that it's fast. It also has 24 x 7 reliability. I didn't face any downtime issues using Azure Container Registry. I also like how secure the solution is, especially as it's from Microsoft."

More Azure Container Registry pros

"Oracle Cloud Infrastructure is about as stable as the other CSPs, but Oracle Cloud is more common in Korea."

"The features allow you to connect the service solutions with the client's requirements. It is user-friendly, easy to navigate and provides assistance."

"We use the solution for EC2. It helps me to create around six servers for free to test out things. It also provides me with an authenticated cloud nameserver. We also use it as a wireguard endpoint."

"The product gives you independence from hardware onsite, the setup is easy, and there is no need for hardware maintenance."

"The strength of this product is that they have many good database options, compared to other vendors."

"Just having the many options and features offered by the product through the cloud is a major benefit."

"The initial setup was straightforward."

"The most valuable features of the solution are APEX, Threat Detector, and Cloud Guard."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) pros

Cons

"Implementation needs improvement. We have a lot of open, online sources. Doing a deployment is easy for us. The only issue is when we have VPN connections and we try to pull the images from Container images to the local Dockers, it slows down."

"The solution has no areas that need improvement."

"There is a need for a graphical interface instead of writing code in Visual Studio to create images."

"The accessibility of Azure Container Registry also has room for improvement because the solution is not always accessible 24 x 7. I experienced this three times when the service wasn't responding, so I could not push or pull images, and I had to decommission Azure Container Registry and redeploy it."

"It's not an open source, and we pay per hour to Microsoft Azure."

"They can improve their scalability."

"We have found that it is sometimes difficult to pull images from the host application."

"The building of images on the container is quite cumbersome."

More Azure Container Registry cons

"The solution's reporting part is not good and needs more development."

"The framework from AWS is so good, I would like to see this feature in OCI."

"The tool should provide more options like other cloud services. Also, it should improve scalability with the free version."

"Some of the features of this solution, such as the digital assistant, require extensive configuration before they are suitable for use. We would like these to be made more straightforward and to require less manual input."

"The solution needs improvement in support, performance, and features."

"The monitoring tool and the migration from on-premise to the cloud should be much easier."

"Nowadays, every SR is referred to Oracle Cloud Connect without a person actually handling the customer."

"OCI's user interface is awful and needs to be modernized."

More Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Azure is a bit expensive."

"The Premium version includes some enhancements but is still quite okay with regard to pricing."

"When using Azure Container Registry, it was $1.5 or $1.6 per day, but I'm unsure how much it costs today."

"Azure Container Registry, has no cost, but you pay for storage service."

"I would rate the pricing four out of ten."

"I have no information on how much Azure Container Registry costs. I know it's the only solution my institution can use, so the cost was approved."

"The product is competitively priced."

"The solution is free to use."

"Oracle offers universal credit and pay-as-you-go options."

"It's very expensive compared to AWS."

"On a monthly basis, we pay around $2,500 for licensing fees, with no additional costs. We do pay extra licensing for other on-premises solutions, but these are not related to Oracle Cloud Platform."

"Costing depends on if you have an existing license for the application and for the operating system."

"OCI is the cost-effectiveness compared to other similar services, assuming all compliance regulations are met. Additionally, they offer a number of things free of charge, which is particularly beneficial for smaller clients."

"It is cheaper as a solution model. It isn’t cheaper than SAP but offers more features and competition."

"My ROI has increased."
