【Background of the Private Container Registry Launch】
GMO GPU Cloud is a high-performance GPU cloud service equipped with a container runtime environment. Until now, sharing containers within a team required either transferring files manually or uploading them to external public container registries. However, many users have expressed concerns over uploading proprietary development assets to external registries due to compliance considerations.
To address these needs and provide a secure, efficient way for teams to share container images, GMO GPU Cloud now offers a Private Container Registry feature available directly within the service.
■ Features of the Private Container Registry
This feature is built on Harbor, an open-source container registry widely adopted for enterprise use. With its robust management capabilities and access control features, it offers both the flexibility and security needed for team-based development. By allowing users to securely store and manage their custom container images within GMO GPU Cloud—without relying on external services—it supports a more efficient and secure development environment.

GMO GPU Cloud is a high-performance GPU cloud service equipped with NVIDIA H200 GPUs and, for the first time in Japan, combines the ultra-fast NVIDIA Spectrum-X network with high-speed storage. This enables the fastest multi-node performance among commercial clouds in Japan. In the TOP500 global supercomputer rankings announced in November 2024, it was ranked 37th in the world and 6th in Japan—making it the fastest-performing commercial cloud service in the country. With exceptional performance and stability in multi-node configurations, it offers an ideal environment for advanced AI development, including training large language models (LLMs) and building multimodal AI systems.
Additionally, a cloud service featuring NVIDIA's next-generation NVIDIA HGX B300 (hereinafter, NVIDIA B300) equipped with the Blackwell Ultra GPU is planned for release in 2025.
Through this service, GMO Internet aims to support companies and research institutions working in the generative AI space by providing an optimized infrastructure platform and a flexible, customizable compute environment tailored to each customer's workload—ultimately contributing to faster development cycles, reduced costs, and the growth of Japan’s AI industry.
