Project Harbor is an enterprise-class registry server. It extends the open source Docker Registry server by adding more functionalities usually required by an enterprise. Harbor is designed to be deployed in a private environment of an organization. A private registry is important for organizations who care much about security. In addition, a private registry improves productivity by eliminating the need to download images from public network. This is very helpful to container users who do not have a good network to the Internet. In particular, Harbor accelerates the progress of Chinese developers, because they no longer need to pull images from the Internet.
