ECR stands for Elastic Container Registry. It is a fully managed Docker container registry service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS). ECR allows you to store, manage, and deploy Docker container images, making it easier for developers to work with containerized applications.

Key features of ECR include:

  1. Private repositories: You can create private repositories to store your container images securely.
  2. Integration with ECS and EKS: ECR is fully integrated with Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) and Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (EKS), making it seamless to deploy containers from ECR to these services.
  3. Scalability: As a managed service, ECR scales automatically to accommodate the growth of your container image repository.
