ORAS Project

ORAS Project maintains a streamlined portfolio centered on the ORAS CLI, a lightweight but powerful OCI registry client that extends container registries so they can store, version, and retrieve any type of software artifact—not just container images. Developers and DevOps teams use the tool to push helm charts, policy bundles, firmware blobs, SBOMs, or language-specific packages alongside their Docker images, leveraging the same immutable, signed, and globally distributed infrastructure that already underpins cloud-native workflows. Typical use cases include bundling machine-learning models with inference code, shipping signed policy packs to edge clusters, or staging installation media for air-gapped environments; because artifacts are addressed by digest and can be annotated with custom metadata, CI pipelines can treat registries as universal artifact hubs without standing up separate repositories. The CLI integrates transparently with Azure Container Registry, Docker Hub, Harbor, GHCR, and any other registry that implements the OCI distribution specification, so existing authentication and retention policies remain unchanged. Commands follow familiar Git-like patterns—push, pull, attach, discover—making onboarding almost instantaneous for teams already container-savvy, while native Windows, macOS, and Linux binaries remove the need for containerized wrappers on developer laptops. ORAS Project software is available for free on get.nero.com, where downloads are delivered through trusted Windows package sources such as winget, always providing the latest release and enabling batch installation alongside complementary tools.
