Container Management
AWS managed container image registry is secure, scalable, and reliable. The Amazon ECR supports private repositories with resource-based permissions using AWS IAM. This ensures that specified users or Amazon EC2 instances can access your container repositories and images. You can use your preferred CLI to push, pull, and manage Docker images, Open Container Initiative (OCI) images, and OCI-compatible artifacts.
