I really expected for Amazon to release a Container Registry before they took the preview status off ECS. Looks like Google beat them to the punch. I'd still be very interested to see if Amazon will release something soon.
Yes a little bit of competition in the container registry space would be good for everybody. I need to have a closer look how good is this Google offering. One problem that we run into was security when started to use Docker. The management did not want to upload the images to any cloud provider, so we were forced to create a registry in our infrastructure. For this use case Registry 2.0 is going to be a better option.
