--- author: sethmanheim ms.author: sethm ms.service: azure-iot-edge ms.topic: include ms.date: 11/04/2025 ms.custom: sfi-image-nochange --- ## Create a container registry In this tutorial, you use the [Azure IoT Edge](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vsciot-vscode.azure-iot-edge) and [Azure IoT Hub](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vsciot-vscode.azure-iot-toolkit) extensions to build a module and create a container image from the files. Then you push this image to a registry that stores and manages your images. Finally, you deploy your image from your registry to run on your IoT Edge device. > [!IMPORTANT] > The Azure IoT Edge Visual Studio Code extension is in [maintenance mode](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-azure-iot-edge/issues/639). > You can use any Docker-compatible registry to hold your container images. Two popular Docker registry services are [Azure Container Registry](/azure/container-registry/index) and [Docker Hub](https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/repos/#viewing-repository-tags). This tutorial uses Azure Container Registry. If you don't already have a container registry, follow these steps to create a new one in Azure: 1. In the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com), select **Create a resource** > **Containers** > **Container Registry**. 1. Provide the following required values to create your container registry: | Field | Value | | ----- | ----- | | Subscription | Select a subscription from the drop-down list. | | Resource group | Use the same resource group for all of the test resources that you create during the IoT Edge quickstarts and tutorials; for example, **IoTEdgeResources**. | | Registry name | Provide a unique name. | | Location | Choose a location close to you. | | SKU | Select **Basic**. | 1. Select **Review + create**, then **Create**. 1. Select your new container registry from the **Resources** section of your Azure portal home page to open it. 1. In the left pane of your container registry, select **Access keys** from the menu located under **Settings**. :::image type="content" source="../media/iot-edge-create-container-registry/access-keys.png" alt-text="Screenshot of the Access Keys menu location." lightbox="../media/iot-edge-create-container-registry/access-keys.png"::: 1. Enable **Admin user** with the toggle button and view the **Username** and **Password** for your container registry. 1. Copy the values for **Login server**, **Username**, and **password** and save them somewhere convenient. You use these values throughout this tutorial to provide access to the container registry.
