Amazon Elastic Container Registry | General Flashcards
What is Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR)?
General
Amazon Elastic Container Registry | Compute
Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) is a fully-managed Docker container registry that makes it easy for developers to store, manage, and deploy Docker container images. Amazon ECR is integrated with Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), simplifying your development to production workflow. Amazon ECR eliminates the need to operate your own container repositories or worry about scaling the underlying infrastructure. Amazon ECR hosts your images in a highly available and scalable architecture, allowing you to reliably deploy containers for your applications. Integration with AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) provides resource-level control of each repository.
Why should I use Amazon ECR?
General
Amazon Elastic Container Registry | Compute
Amazon ECR eliminates the need to operate and scale the infrastructure required to power your container registry. Amazon ECR uses Amazon S3 for storage to make your container images highly available and accessible, allowing you to reliably deploy new containers for your applications. Amazon ECR transfers your container images over HTTPS and automatically encrypts your images at rest. You can configure policies to manage permissions for each repository and restrict access to IAM users, roles, or other AWS accounts. Amazon ECR integrates with Amazon ECS and the Docker CLI, allowing you to simplify your development and production workflows. You can easily push your container images to Amazon ECR using the Docker CLI from your development machine, and Amazon ECS can pull them directly for production deployments.
What is the pricing for Amazon ECR?
General
Amazon Elastic Container Registry | Compute
With Amazon ECR, there are no upfront fees or commitments. You pay only for the amount of data you store in your repositories and data transferred to the Internet. Please see our Pricing page for more details.
Is Amazon ECR a global service?
General
Amazon Elastic Container Registry | Compute
Amazon ECR is a regional service and is designed to give you flexibility in how images are deployed. You have the ability to push/pull images to the same region where your Docker cluster runs for the best performance. You can also access Amazon ECR anywhere that Docker runs such as desktops and on-premises environments. Pulling images between regions or out to the internet will have additional latency and data transfer costs.
Can Amazon ECR host public container images?
General

Amazon ECR currently supports private images. However, using IAM resource-based permissions, you can configure policies for each repository to allow access to IAM users, roles, or other AWS accounts.
