Pretty user-friendly, efficient user management and continuously updated with new versions
It's pretty user-friendly. It's operator-based, and there's no complication in setting it up. Things like downloading an image, pulling an image, tagging, and pushing it back to the needed organization are fairly easy compared to doing things through the command-line interface. Red Hat is constantly improving its product. Every new version rollout comes with updates that enhance performance. One example is that we used to experience issues when clicking on a repository if we had thousands of them in the registry. In the latest versions, those things have been taken care of.
