The setup was quite easy and not complicated at all. Other setups, changes, or implementations of the token skew are quite simple as well. We have the automation to set up the ACR via the Terraform and also have a graphic user interface that makes it quite easy to create. The setup is rated a nine out of ten.

Initially, the setup for Azure Container Registry was a bit complex. My company used Docker as the container registry and then migrated to Azure Container Registry, so the process was complicated. Learning how to do it took eight hours, but my team could start using Azure Container Registry after that period. The tool wasn't that difficult to understand. My rating for the initial setup is eight out of ten. How long the deployment for Azure Container Registry takes depends on the region. When deploying in the Europe region with clusters present, the deployment is rapid because pushing and pulling images was fast. In the US and Australia regions, my team faced a bit of downtime, but just twenty to thirty seconds, so the deployment was a bit longer than the Europe deployment.

The setup process is mildly complex. There is no straightforward management platform, so there's a level of complexity to it. On a scale from one to ten, where ten is the most difficult, and one is the easiest, I rate the complexity of the setup a seven. In my use cases, I've only deployed the solution on the cloud. We have a small dev team, so obviously, one person could do the deployment. Also, a typical dev team would consist of half a dozen people. The actual deployment can be done in minutes.
