Kraken is a P2P-powered Docker registry that focuses on scalability and availability. It is designed for Docker image management, replication, and distribution in a hybrid cloud environment. With pluggable backend support, Kraken can easily integrate into existing Docker registry setups as the distribution layer. Kraken has been in production at Uber since early 2018. In our busiest cluster, Kraken distributes more than 1 million blobs per day, including 100k 1G+ blobs. At its peak production load, Kraken distributes 20K 100MB-1G blobs in under 30 sec. Kraken is capable of distributing Docker images at > 50% of max download the speed limit on every host. Cluster size and image size do not have a significant impact on download speed. Support uploader authentication and data integrity protection through TLS. Other than pluggable storage, Kraken only has an optional dependency on DNS.

  • Supports arbitrarily large blobs/layers
  • No component is a single point of failure
  • Support uploader authentication and data integrity protection through TLS.
