AWS Elastic Container Registry Monitoring

AWS Elastic Container Registry - Overview

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) is a secure, scalable, and reliable AWS-managed container image registry service. Amazon ECR supports private repositories with resource-based permissions using AWS IAM, allowing specified users or Amazon EC2 instances to access your container repositories and images. With Applications Manager's Elastic Container Registry monitoring tool, you can enhance the performance, security, and efficiency of your container image repositories, ensuring smooth application deployment and management.
