    Do container images count towards storage costs? How important is it that I clean up old versions from the Multiplay docker registry?

    Hi dchipman,

    Container images don't count towards storage costs. The storage costs you pay for are the disk on the machine rather than the space in the registry.

    Let me know if you have any other questions

    Thank you for the answer. So there's no issue with just letting our CI/CD stack up a bunch of images in the registry?

    Yup totally, no additional cost for you! One thing we could eventually do in the future is adding a retention policy, if we want to keep costs in check. But this is not planned at the moment.
