Latest Updates

  • DigitalOcean Container Registry (DOCR) now provides mirror registries: DigitalOcean-curated regional mirrors of popular AI container images, available in 11 datacenter regions. You can pull nvidia/pytorch and rocm/pytorch images from a region-local mirror using standard Docker tooling, or use SOCI lazy loading to start containers in seconds while image layers stream on demand. DOCR also supports pushing your own SOCI-enabled images to your registry.
