By Community Demand, JFrog Announces Private Docker Registries

SAN FRANCISCO, November 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --

               Empowering Docker with an On-prem Secured Artifactory Repository

    JFrog [http://www.jfrog.com ] announces Artifactory's
[http://www.jfrog.com/artifactory ] support for secure, private Docker Registries. The
company's flagship product, Artifactory, fully supports the Docker client, allowing
companies to securely store their internal Docker images in a local repository within the
organization's LAN. With comprehensive security features, Artifactory provides
fine-grained access control, letting you define exactly who can access images in any local
repository.

    Docker [http://www.docker.com ] has emerged as the "King of Containers" with more and
more enterprises adopting Docker technology to run applications in data centers, on IT
infrastructure and developer laptops alike. Docker's decoupling of applications from their
environments is revolutionizing how software is run. However, as with any (relatively) new
technology, there is still much to be done. One of the biggest concerns with Docker,
impeding its large scale adoption in enterprises, is the runtime security of Docker
containers. But there's another aspect of security that is receiving less attention, but
is no less important - the Docker registries on which images are stored. These are
generally public, so anyone can download anything. Even though DockerHub
[https://hub.docker.com ] does offer private registries, enterprises are still not quite
ready to upload their sensitive IP to the cloud - whether it's Docker images or
applications. While there are tools available that wrap Docker registries, so that
enterprises can import and run them privately within their secured LAN, having to use a
dedicated tool to manage each software technology means a lot of maintenance for IT staff
managing the infrastructures.

    With over 800 industry-leading customers like Netflix, Oracle, CA, VMWare, Amazon, EMC
and others, Artifactory, JFrog's award-winning Binary Repository Manager
[http://www.jfrog.com/binary-repository ] has supported secure, private registries for all
common development technologies since day 1. With the newly added support for Docker,
enterprises can securely store their internal Docker images, and implement fine-grained
access control to determine who can access what. From restricting complete repositories
down to restricting a single artifact, and from a group of any size down to a single
developer.

    "Organizations shouldn't have to integrate new tools every time a new technology
emerges,"said Yoav Landman, JFrog CTO. "Developers and DevOps shouldn't have to deal with
new challenges to configure and maintain an ever-growing set of tools. We're a
user-needs-driven company, and by adding support for Docker in Artifactory, we make it
easy for our customers to adopt this technology while maintaining security and privacy
within their organization."

    "We pay close attention to industry requirements and listen carefully to our community
and customers. Thanks to Artifactory's full support for the Docker client, using
Artifactory to manage Docker images is transparent to developers, and requires no special
effort on their part," said Fred Simon, JFrog Chief Architect. "Once access to Docker
images is configured to go through Artifactory, developers continue to do what they do
best, write code, without having to worry about where to upload or download images," Simon
added.

    Support for Docker is included in an Artifactory Pro
[http://www.jfrog.com/artifactory/versions ] Power Pack subscription, along with support
for Maven, Gradle, Python (PyPi), Nuget, RubyGems, Debian, and virtually every other
development technology in common use today. This is in addition to a host of other
features [http://www.jfrog.com/artifactory/features ] that any modern organization doing
software development, shouldn't live without.
