Questions we get asked

Is Harbor limited to storing only Docker container images?

No, Harbor supports OCI (Open Container Initiative) images, including Docker and other OCI-Compatible image formats.

Is Harbor suitable for startups and smaller projects?

While Harbor is designed to work with enterprise level security and scalability, it is very powerful and useful for projects of all sizes. As it is open-source and very flexible to customise - any startups that requires the infra to be scaled can rely on Harbor’s capabilities.

Does using Harbor guarantee that my container images will be secure and free from vulnerabilities?

No, while Harbor provides robust security with features like RBAC, Image Signing and Vulnerability Scanning - but you still have to ensure you follow all best practices in the entire development cycle and Harbor alone can’t guarantee security. It can be used in combination with other security measures and best coding practices.
