# Harbor container registry

CyVerse operates a [Harbor.io](https://goharbor.io){target=_blank} container registry for its featured applications.

CyVerse subscribers can request that their applications be published in the Discovery Environment, and receive hosting for their containers in the [https://harbor.cyverse.org](https://harbor.cyverse.org){target=_blank} registry.

Harbor is an open source registry that secures artifacts with policies and role-based access control, ensures images are scanned and free from vulnerabilities, and signs images as trusted.

!!! info "Under the hood"

    How CyVerse deploys and operates its registry is covered on the [Harbor](https://docs.cyverse.org/deployment/04-kubernetes/harbor/){target=_blank} deployment page in the CyVerse Developer Documentation.
