Can I Use Vultr Container Registry with Vultr Kubernetes Engine (VKE)?

Yes. Vultr Container Registry (VCR) integrates seamlessly with Vultr Kubernetes Engine (VKE), enabling you to securely store and pull container images for your Kubernetes workloads. By configuring VKE clusters with access credentials for VCR, you can simplify application deployments without relying on external registries.

When using VCR with VKE, you can:

• Pull Images Securely: Authenticate your VKE nodes with VCR using Kubernetes secrets to ensure private images are accessed only by authorized workloads. See the guide on generating a Docker config for Kubernetes to set this up.
• Streamline Deployments: Reference VCR-hosted images directly in your Kubernetes manifests, Helm charts, or CI/CD pipelines.
• Improve Performance: Reduce latency and egress costs by keeping your images within the Vultr ecosystem.
• Maintain Compliance: Ensure your deployments use OCI-compliant images stored in a registry that integrates with Kubernetes tooling.
