Service accounts
Important
As of December 10, 2024, service accounts are no longer available. Existing Service Account agreements will be honored until their current term expires, but new purchases or renewals of service accounts no longer available and customers must renew under a new subscription plan.
Docker recommends transitioning to Organization Access Tokens (OATs), which can provide similar functionality.
A service account is a Docker ID used for automated management of container images or containerized applications. Service accounts are typically used in automated workflows, and don't share Docker IDs with the members in the organization. Common use cases for service accounts include mirroring content on Docker Hub, or tying in image pulls from your CI/CD process.
