## Source excerpt

Introducing Multiple Registry Support on DigitalOcean Container Registry At DigitalOcean, we're dedicated to enhancing our container registry experience, providing users with a simple, powerful tool to organize, manage, and deploy containerized applications. Today, we're excited to announce the General Availability (GA) of a major enhancement to our container registry: the ability to create and manage multiple registries under a single team. Available to customers on the Professional Plan at no additional cost, this feature enables the creation of up to 10 registries per team, delivering great flexibility of image rollout on DigitalOcean. What is Multi-Registry support, and why does it matter? Previously, although one DigitalOcean Container Registry (DOCR) account could create multiple teams, each team was limited to a single container registry. With this update, Professional Plan customers can now create up to 10 registries under a single team, each housing its own independent set of repositories and configurations. This architecture is designed for users managing distinct environments (like development, staging, production) or distributed teams, allowing for compartmentalized registry management. Benefits of Multiple Registries Environment isolation: Segregate different deployment stages (such as dev vs. prod). Regional performance: Provision registries in specific regions (like fra1 or nyc3) to co-locate images with your Kubernetes clusters. This reduces latency and data transfer costs during image pulls. Regulatory compliance: For users with strict data residency requirements (such as GDPR), multiple registries enhance compliance by ensuring container artifacts are stored within a specific geographical jurisdiction. Ready for DOCR's future enhancements: This multi-registry foundation paves the way for DOCR's future advanced capabilities like registry mirroring and geo-replication.
