About Harbor
CNCF Harbor is an open-source project that enhances container registry capabilities with a focus on security and compliance. It builds upon basic registry functionality by offering features such as vulnerability scanning to identify known security weaknesses in images, role-based access control for granular image access management, image signing to ensure authenticity and prevent tampering, and replication for efficient syncing of images across multiple other registries.
Harbor strengthens the security of the image management process. It can be particularly beneficial for organizations that prioritize security and compliance in their containerized environments. However, users should be aware that setting up and maintaining Harbor can require additional effort and expertise compared to simpler container registries.
