Harbor

Harbor is a cloud native image registry that stores, signs, and scans content. It is for people and teams working with cloud native images who need these three registry operations. Storage keeps content in the registry, while signing and scanning provide separate ways to handle it. Harbor brings these functions together around image content, giving it a focused role in cloud native work. That focus is also its main limitation: Harbor covers image registry tasks rather than a broader range of cloud native functions. Users who need content storage, signing, and scanning can perform those operations with Harbor. Users who require other protocols, formats, platforms, or tasks would need to assess those needs separately. No paid product replacement is included because the available facts do not name one, and identifying a commercial alternative would require unsupported information.
