# Roadmap
|
|
|
|
The Distribution project aims to support the following use cases
|
|
|
|
1. A library to support building highly scalable and reliable container registries,
|
|
that can be customised for different backends and use cases. This is used by many
|
|
of the largest registry operators, including Docker Hub, GitHub, GitLab, Harbor
|
|
and Digital Ocean.
|
|
2. A reference implementation of the OCI registry standards, and an easy way to
|
|
experiment with new propsals in the registry space as these standards change.
|
|
3. Distributed registry tools, such as caching registries and local registries
|
|
that can be used within clusters for performance and locality use cases.
|
|
|
|
As every container application needs at least one registry as part of its infrastructure,
|
|
and more cloud native artifacts are using registries as the basis of their distribution,
|
|
having a widely used and supported open source registry is important for innovation.
