# Reliability in Azure Container Registry

Azure Container Registry is a managed container registry service based on the open-source Docker Registry 2.0. Use Azure Container Registry to store and manage your private Docker container images and related artifacts for your container deployments. Container registries enable efficient distribution of container images to orchestration platforms like Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Container Instances, and other Azure services. For more information, see [What is Azure Container Registry?](/azure/container-registry/container-registry-intro).

This article describes reliability support in Azure Container Registry (ACR), zone redundancy using availablity zones within a region, and geo-replication to multiple regions without using Azure paired regions. For a more detailed overview of reliability in Azure, see [Azure reliability](/azure/reliability/overview).

Azure Container Registry provides reliability features including zone redundancy for high availability within a region, and geo-replication capabilities for multi-region scenarios. The Premium tier offers the most comprehensive reliability features including zone redundancy and geo-replication to multiple regions without using Azure paired regions.

The service provides built-in redundancy through zone redundancy within regions and geo-replication across regions. Zone redundancy automatically distributes data across multiple availability zones, while geo-replication creates independent registry replicas in customer-selected regions. Both features are available in the Premium tier and work together to provide comprehensive protection against infrastructure failures.

If a regional outage occurs, the registry data may become unavailable and is not automatically recovered. Customers who wish to have their registry data stored in multiple regions for better performance across different geographies or who wish to have resiliency in the event of a regional outage should enable geo-replication.

Unlike many Azure services, Container Registry geo-replication does not use Azure paired regions. You have complete flexibility to select any combination of Azure regions for replication based on your specific geographic, performance, and compliance requirements. Each geo-replicated registry functions as a complete registry endpoint, supporting all registry operations including image pushes, pulls, and management tasks.
