Breakwater

The product is a licensing and access management layer for commercial Docker containers that sits in front of a container registry and checks each docker pull against active licenses, plans, and subscriptions. It solves manual credential sharing, manual revocation, lack of pull visibility, and all-or-nothing version access. It sells to software vendors and to developer, IT, and operations teams at B2B companies distributing containerized software. It is positioned as a replacement for custom glue code on registries not designed for commercial distribution and is delivered as a hosted registry or as a proxy for existing registries.
