# Azure Container Registry

DDOE now supports integration with Azure Container Registry (ACR), enabling users to customize and deploy containerized pipelines, applications, and other components. This integration provides a secure and efficient way to use ACR as a private container registry, streamlining DevOps workflows within the DDOE platform.

- ACR’s integration with Azure Active Directory (AAD) and role-based access control (RBAC) ensures secure, identity-aware access management for container assets.
- With geo-replication, private endpoints, and network rules, ACR provides enterprise-grade compliance and performance in air-gapped or restricted environments.
- As Microsoft’s recommended solution for container artifacts, ACR supports tight DevOps alignment, making it ideal for managing AI workloads on DDOE. [Learn more](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/container-registry/)

To integrate Azure Container Registry (ACR) with the DDOE platform, follow these steps:

---

## Step 1: Sign in to Azure Portal

Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com/#home).

3. Fill in the required fields under the Basics tab:
  1. **Subscription**: Choose your Azure subscription (e.g., Microsoft Azure Sponsorship).
  2. **Resource group**: Select an existing resource group or click "Create new".
  3. **Registry name**: Enter a globally unique name (e.g., azuredemo).
  4. **Location**: Choose a data center region (e.g., Central US).
  5. **Domain name label scope**: Select Unsecure or other scope based on your requirements.
  6. **Pricing plan**: Choose a plan (e.g., Standard).
  7. **Role assignment permissions mode**: Choose between RBAC options (e.g., `RBAC Registry Permissions`).
4. You can optionally configure:
  1. Availability Zones
  2. Networking, Encryption, and Tags via their respective tabs.
5. Click **Review + create**, then **Create** to deploy the container registry.

1. Once the registry is created, open it in Azure.
2. Go to **Settings** → **Access keys**.
3. Enable the **Admin user** ✅ checkbox.
4. Copy the following values for CLI or Docker login. ***You’ll use these credentials in DDOE.***
  1. **Login server** (e.g., azuredemo-a9g9e5dag6h7csh5.azurecr.io)
  2. **Username** (e.g., azuredemo)
  3. **Password** (click Show for password or password2)

---

## Step 4: Open DDOE and Start Integration

1. Log in to your DDOE Platform.
2. Navigate to the **Integrations** page.
3. Click **Create Integration** -> **Create Registry Integration**.

  1. **Integration Name**: Provide a name for the integration.
  2. **Provider**: Select **Azure** from the list.
    1. **Username**: ACR username (e.g., azuredemo) from Azure Access Keys.
    2. **Password**: ACR password (password or password2) from Azure Access Keys.
    3. **Location**: Region of your ACR (e.g., `mycontainerregistry.azurecr.io`) from Azure registry overview. Provide the full login server address of your Azure Container Registry (ACR). This is typically in the format: `<registry-name>.azurecr.io`.
4. Click **Create Integration**.

## Step 5: Test the Configuration

- In the DDOE platform, try pulling or referencing a Container image hosted in your ACR.
- Ensure the integration is working without any errors.
