3. Provide an appropriate Name.

Note:

It is not possible to change the registry name later.

The registry name:

• must be globally unique across all customers.

• must contain only alphanumeric characters and dashes.

• must be between 3 and 63 characters in length.

• must begin with an character between a-z.

• must end with an alphanumeric character.

4. Choose the Location where you want your container registry to be run and the artifacts to be stored from the drop-down list.

Note: It is not possible to change the Location later.

5. Turn on the Vulnerability Scanning toggle so that your Container Registry is created with the vulnerability scanning enabled.

Note: We recommend that you create your Container Registry with Vulnerability Scanning enabled.

Vulnerability Scanning gives you the benefit of all artifacts being scanned for CVEs when pushed into a Container Registry and every time CVE databases are updated with newly identified CVEs. It is possible to add Vulnerability Scanning to a Container Registry. Once Vulnerability Scanning is enabled, it cannot be disabled later.

6. Click Add Registry. Your Container Registry and storage will be created.
