There has been a lot of movement in the world of container registries lately. And, with companies increasingly betting their businesses on container builds in their CI/CD pipelines, the stakes for container registries have never been higher. When CI/CD goes down, development grinds to a halt. That means we need to build resilience into our CI/CD systems, and the registry server is a key component for doing so.
A registry server is essentially a fancy file server that is used to store container images for Kubernetes, devops, and container-based application development.

Github migration
As a new year begins, its time to reflect on some of the things that have
happened since the last news entry - which is a shocking 3 years ago!
Firstly, the main AROS development has now migrated to GitHub. It has
been a contraversial decision/move but in the long run is better for
the developer community, and AROS as a whole. Along with this has been
the migration of the nightly builds to use Azure Pipelines, so that as a
developer team we can all contribute to the maintenance/monitoring and fault
resolution that is frequently needed in a project such as AROS, and in a
