To improve user experience and optimize resource management, Container Registry adjusted the creation process of Personal Edition instances from September 9, 2024. This update is designed to help users better focus on region-specific services while enhancing the security and stability of instance access.

Background information

Starting from September 9, 2024, you must select a region when you create a Container Registry Personal Edition instance. You can use the Personal Edition instance only in the region.

Updates

A Container Registry Personal Edition instance that is created on September 9, 2024 or later (new Personal Edition instance) is automatically assigned an exclusive endpoint to improve data isolation and access efficiency.
