Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR)

Amazon ECR is a fully-managed Docker container registry provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). It allows users to store, manage, and deploy Docker container images. It integrates with other AWS services like Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, and AWS Fargate to make it easier for users to deploy containers in the AWS Cloud. With features like image scanning and AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) integration, Amazon ECR helps users secure their container images and control access to them.

Features

Here are some of the key features of Amazon ECR:

1. Docker Container Image Storage: Amazon ECR provides scalable and highly-available storage for Docker container images.
2. Image Versioning: Users can store multiple versions of the same image and easily roll back to previous versions if needed.
3. Image Scanning: Amazon ECR integrates with Amazon GuardDuty to scan images for known security vulnerabilities and deviations from best practices.
4. Authentication and Authorization: Amazon ECR uses AWS IAM to control access to images and registry operations.
5. Automated Builds and Deployments: Amazon ECR integrates with AWS CodeBuild and AWS CodePipeline to automate builds and deployments.
6. Integration with Other AWS Services: Amazon ECR integrates with Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, and AWS Fargate, making it easy to deploy containers in the AWS Cloud.
7. Regional Availability: Amazon ECR is available in multiple AWS regions, allowing users to store and deploy images close to their customers.
8. Cost-Effective: Amazon ECR provides a cost-effective solution for storing and deploying containers, with a pay-per-use pricing model.

Components

Amazon ECR is composed of the following components:

1. Repositories: A repository is a collection of Docker images with the same name. Each repository has a unique namespace within an AWS account.
2. Images: An image is a package of software that runs in a Docker container. An image is stored in a repository and can be versioned.
3. Tags: A tag is a label applied to a specific image version

Amazon Elastic Container Registry Pricing

1. Storage: There is a charge for storing Docker images in Amazon ECR. The cost of storage is based on the total amount of data stored in a registry, measured in GB-months.
2. Data Transfer: There is a charge for transferring data in and out of Amazon ECR, as well as between AWS regions.
