Codefresh is set to deprecate its built-in container registry in favor of focusing on its core CI/CD platform features, with the registry becoming read-only on July 1, 2020, and completely disabled by July 15, 2020. This decision aligns with the increasing adoption of external registries by customers and the company's aim to prioritize best-in-class integrations over maintaining its own registry. Codefresh assures that the removal will not impact pipeline performance, as existing features like Docker caching will still function with external registries. Customers are encouraged to transition to external registries, with recommended options including Azure’s ACR, Google’s GCR, and AWS ECR, among others. Codefresh is providing detailed documentation and dedicated support to assist with the migration process, emphasizing that the change allows them to allocate resources towards new features and improvements.
