Overview

The Crusoe Container Registry (CCR) is a Docker-compliant container registry that allows you to store container images in a specific Crusoe location. This improves latency when scaling workloads.

CCR supports two modes:

  • Standard: A private, read/write repository hosted in Crusoe for your container images.
  • Pull-Through Cache: A private, read-only cache for an upstream public or private registry. Images are fetched from your upstream source, cached in your CCR repository, and served to your machine.

Key Benefits​

  • Reduce Latency: Store images in the same Crusoe location as your compute to accelerate workload startup times.
  • Eliminate Egress Costs: Avoid data egress charges from external cloud registries when scaling clusters.
  • Improve Reliability: Mitigate ImagePullBackOff errors in Kubernetes caused by rate-limiting from public registries, especially when many nodes pull the same image simultaneously.

Pricing​

Starting on Thursday, January 15th, 2026, any usage of CCR incurs charges at a rate of $0.10/GiB/month.

Best Practices​

  • Region Co-location: To ensure high throughput and low latency, provision your repositories in the same location as your compute clusters.
