The Harbor Project Journey report is out!

Harbor is a self-hosted cloud native registry that stores, scans, and signs content such as container images as well as OCI artifacts, including Helm charts. It extends the open source CNCF Distribution project and adds useful functionality, such as user management, security, activity auditing, and role-based access control (RBAC). Harbor supports image replication between registries, enabling hybrid-cloud and multi-cloud interoperability. See the data demonstrating how the project has grown since joining CNCF as well as hearing from the end users. Read the full report here.
