Harbor vs Quay.io: What are the differences?

Harbor: Manage and serve container images in a secure environment (created at VMware). Harbor is an open source cloud native registry that stores, signs, and scans container images for vulnerabilities Harbor solves common challenges by delivering trust, compliance, performance, and interoperability. It fills a gap for organ; Quay.io: Secure hosting for private Docker repositories. Simply upload your Dockerfile (and any additional files it needs) and we'll build your Dockerfile into an image and push it to your repository.

Harbor and Quay.io can be categorized as "Docker Registry" tools.

Some of the features offered by Harbor are:

  • Multi-tenant content signing and validation
  • Image replication between instances
  • Extensible API and graphical UI

On the other hand, Quay.io provides the following key features:

  • Secure - Your data is transferred using SSL at all times and encrypted when at rest. More information available in our security guide
  • Shareable - Have to share a repository? No problem! Share with anyone you choose
  • Cloud Hosted - Accessible from anywhere, anytime

Harbor is an open source tool with 8.18K GitHub stars and 2.32K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Harbor's open source repository on GitHub.

Decisions about Harbor and Quay.io
Vadim Bauer

I created a post to highlight two ways on how to overcome the Docker Hub pull rate limit and improve security and governance.

What are some alternatives to Harbor and Quay.io?
Grizzly
Writing scalable server applications in the Java™ programming language has always been difficult. Before its advent, thread management issues made it impossible for a server to scale to thousands of users. This framework has been designed to help developers to take advantage of the Java™ NIO API.
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions.
Docker Compose
With Compose, you define a multi-container application in a single file, then spin your application up in a single command which does everything that needs to be done to get it running.
Rancher
Rancher is an open source container management platform that includes full distributions of Kubernetes, Apache Mesos and Docker Swarm, and makes it simple to operate container clusters on any cloud or infrastructure platform.
Docker Swarm
Swarm serves the standard Docker API, so any tool which already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to transparently scale to multiple hosts: Dokku, Compose, Krane, Deis, DockerUI, Shipyard, Drone, Jenkins... and, of course, the Docker client itself.
