Introducing VCR: Vercel Container Registry

You can now push, pull, and manage container images directly on Vercel.

Vercel Container Registry is an OCI-compliant image registry hosted on Vercel's infrastructure. It works with standard workflows - simply docker push, docker pull, and docker tag - so there's nothing new to learn and no migration of tooling required.

docker buildx build --push -t vcr.vercel.com/team/project/repository:tag .

A Vercel project can have an unlimited number of repositories. You can create and manage repositories directly through the Vercel dashboard or even just push directly to VCR. Vercel will create the repository for you on the fly.

Operations use the same authorization controls as the rest of Vercel. You can authenticate with OIDC or an access token, provide the token has access to the project scope.

When you push an image, Vercel automatically optimizes it in the background for use in Sandboxes and Functions. Vercel stores a precompiled snapshot of the image which to use when the image is requested. These use the same format as our Sandbox Snapshots which are optimized to run on Fluid Compute.

Vercel's build environment is automatically setup with authentication for the current project. This means you can build and store images via Vercel build & deploy process. Or, from today you can also bring your Dockerfile to Vercel directly and host it with Vercel Functions with Vercel Sandboxes.
