# Container Registry Features

The DigitalOcean Container Registry (DOCR) is a private Docker image registry that lets you store and manage private container images. DOCR integrates natively with Docker environments and DigitalOcean Kubernetes clusters.

## Use Cases

- Secure, private storage of your Docker images
- Automatic configuration of your Docker environment
- Automatic configuration of your DigitalOcean Kubernetes clusters
- Automatic global load balancing across caching endpoints in multiple geographic regions
- Ability to store any artifact that is compatible with OCI-based registries, such as [Helm charts](https://helm.sh/docs/topics/registries/)

## Multiple Registry Support

- You can create up to nine additional registries (a maximum of 10) per team if your container registry uses the [Professional subscription plan](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/container-registry/details/pricing/index.html.md). You can create these registries in different regions using the [DigitalOcean Control Panel](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/container-registry/how-to/create-registry/index.html.md#create-additional-container-registries-using-the-control-panel), [CLI](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/container-registry/how-to/create-registry/index.html.md#create-a-container-registry-using-the-cli), or [API](https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/container-registry/how-to/create-registry/index.html.md#create-container-registry-using-the-api) and the storage is shared among them. To increase your maximum number of registries, [contact support](https://cloudsupport.digitalocean.com).
