Tencent Container Registry (TCR) Enterprise Edition supports protection for the hosted container image tags. Container image security is a key part of cloud-native application delivery. It enables tag immutability feature for the images hosted in TCR, which ensures the images of the same tag will only be successfully pushed once, thus effectively reduce the risk of tag overwriting caused by misoperation in the production environment. TCR supports tag protection at the namespace level. Users can fine-grainily define the repositories and image tags covered by the feature according to service demands.
