Why do many companies prefer private container registries over Docker Hub?

Mid Docker
Quick Answer Private registries give companies control over access, SLA, scanning, and retention. Docker Hub is public by default, has rate limits, and can go down (affecting all your deployments). Private registries (ECR, GCR, Harbor) live in your own infrastructure, support role-based access, and integrate with vulnerability scanners.

Answer

Private registries provide access control, compliance, privacy, and no rate limits.
