Amazon Elastic Container Registry

Purpose: Amazon ECR is a fully managed container registry for storing, sharing, and deploying container software and artifacts.
Orchestrators: ECR integrates with Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS so they can retrieve images specified in task or pod definitions.
Standards and tools: ECR supports OCI standards, the Docker Registry HTTP API V2, and Docker CLI commands such as push, pull, list, and tag.
Development environments: AWS says ECR can be accessed from Docker environments in the cloud, on-premises, or on a local machine.
Public gallery: The ECR public gallery hosts publicly shared container software, including base images, Kubernetes add-ons, and Helm charts; AWS accounts are not required to search or pull public images.
Third-party integrations: ECR integrates with third-party developer tools and can be included in continuous integration and delivery workflows.
Image cache: Pull through cache repositories retrieve, store, and sync artifacts from publicly accessible container registries.
Image security: ECR supports managed container image signing, which can be configured in the console or through an API call to sign new images pushed to selected repositories.
Access control and encryption: ECR uses IAM policies to control access to private images, transfers images over HTTPS, and encrypts images at rest using S3 server-side encryption, with an option to use an AWS KMS key.
Vulnerability scanning: AWS describes using the integrated Amazon Inspector service to automate container image vulnerability assessment and remediation ticket routing.
Availability and replication: ECR stores images and artifacts in Amazon S3 and can automatically replicate them to multiple AWS Regions.
Pricing limit: For data transfer exceeding 500 TB per month, AWS directs customers to contact it.
Compliance: AWS says it supports 143 security standards and compliance certifications, including PCI-DSS, HIPAA/HITECH, FedRAMP, GDPR, FIPS 140-3, and NIST 800-171.
Intended users: AWS describes its customers as ranging from startups and enterprises to nonprofits and governments.
