The ibmcloud cr command provides a command-line interface to manage container images and namespaces in the IBM Cloud Container Registry (ICR). Part of the IBM Cloud CLI, it requires installing the cr plugin via ibmcloud plugin install cr.

It supports operations like logging in/out, listing/inspecting/pulling/pushing/deleting images, managing namespaces and repositories, checking quotas, building images, and vulnerability assessments. Users must authenticate with an IBM Cloud API key or IAM token.

Ideal for CI/CD pipelines and DevOps workflows on IBM Cloud, it integrates with tools like Docker. Output formats include table, JSON, or YAML for scripting.

Requires IBM Cloud CLI v0.28+ and cr plugin. Authentication via ibmcloud login and API key mandatory. Regional availability varies; use --registry for multi-region.

Run ibmcloud plugin install cr after installing IBM Cloud CLI from ibm.com/cloud/cli.

ibmcloud login, then ibmcloud cr login with API key for image ops.

Introduced in 2018 with IBM Cloud Container Registry launch. Evolved from Bluemix registry tools; actively maintained by IBM with updates for IAM auth and vulnerability scanning.
