Amazon EC2 Container Registry

Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry) is a fully managed Docker container registry service provided by AWS. It integrates with Amazon ECS (Elastic Container Service) and other container orchestration services to simplify storing, managing, and deploying Docker container images. Key features of Amazon ECR include: 1. Security: ECR integrates with IAM for resource-level permissions. Images can be encrypted at rest using AWS KMS. Vulnerability scanning helps identify security issues in container images. 2. Reliability: ECR offers high availability by storing images across multiple availability zones within a region. 3. Integration: ECR works seamlessly with ECS, EKS, and other AWS services. It also integrates with popular CI/CD tools for automated image deployment. 4. Performance: ECR allows for fast image pulls by caching layers and optimizing transfer speeds. 5. Lifecycle Policies: You can create rules to automatically clean up unused or outdated images based on criteria like age or count. 6. Image Replication: ECR supports cross-region and cross-account replication for disaster recovery or multi-region deployments. 7. Public Repositories: ECR Public Gallery allows sharing container images publicly. The workflow typically involves: - Authenticating your Docker client to your registry - Building and tagging your Docker image - Pushing the image to ECR - Using the image in container services like ECS or EKS ECR charges for data storage and data transfer. There are no upfront fees or commitments. For Solutions Architects, ECR is important when designing containerized applications on AWS, providing a secure, scalable, and integrated solution for container image management.
