The Red Hat Container Certification program offers the following options for the distribution of certified container images:

• Red Hat Container Registry - Select this option if you want Red Hat to distribute your containers through Red Hat’s container registry. If you select this option, images with this distribution method are hosted on your container registry, but are distributed to customers through a Red Hat registry proxy address. Customers will have access to your containers without adding registries to their configuration, but you will not have visibility regarding customer-specific download metrics or other usage data from the proxy. Note
  If you are a grandfathered partner, who chose the option Red Hat Container Registry, you will see an additional checkbox titled I need Red Hat to host my registry. This checkbox triggers the creation of a Red Hat managed quay.io registry for use with this component.
• Your own Container Registry - Select this option to publish your certified containers on your registry. When using your own third-party registry, your customers need to authenticate to your registry, to pull your certified containers, and use your product. In disconnected environments, customers must add your registry to their Red Hat platforms to install your certified containers. Note
  Red Hat recommends self-hosting on your own registry, because you can access your entire container metrics, and have full control of the access of your product. Red Hat recommends using Quay.io for this purpose, however, you can use any Kubernetes-compatible registry.
