As part of the goal of serving as a complete DevOps platform, GitLab includes the option to enable package and container registries in each project. The package registry supports hosting software packages and language packs in a variety of formats, and the container registry serves as a repository of purpose-built container images. These features allow teams to conveniently host, organize, and version-control completed builds alongside their source code. We will discuss the package and container registries in turn.
