Key Features

The Mirantis Secure Registry 4 features are briefly described in the following table, which also offers links to the corresponding upstream Harbor documentation:

Feature

Description

Project quotas

Project quotas can be set as a means for controlling the use of resources, and thus it is possible to limit the amount of storage that a project can consume.

Manual registry replication

Users can replicate resources, namely images and charts, between various registries, in both pull or push mode.

Policy-based registry replication

Policy-based registry replication provides simplified configuration and management of asynchronous replication between multiple registries.

LDAP/Active Directory or OIDC based authentication support

Integrate with AD/LDAP internal user directories and OIDC to implement fine-grained access policies and prevent malicious actors from uploading unsafe images. Multiple repositories can be linked to provide a separation of duties from development through production.

Vulnerability scanning configuration

Deploy vulnerability scanning to analyze images for vulnerabilities prior to their being promoted to production. The default scanner, Aqua Trivy, can be installed during MSR 4 installation using the --with-trivy flag. It supports flexible scanning policies and integrates easily into CI/CD systems.

RESTful API

An application programming interface is included that conforms to the constraints of REST architectural style and allows for interaction with RESTful web services.

Metrics

Exposure of information to operators and administrators, to convey the running status of MSR 4 in real time.

Log rotation

Configure audit log retention windows and set syslog endpoints to forward audit logs.

System account robots

Administrators can create system robot accounts for the purpose of running automated actions.

P2P preheating

Integrates key P2P distribution capabilities of CNCF projects and allows users to define policies around this action.

Proxy caching

Users can proxy and cache images from a target public or private registry.
