Amazon ECR's most valuable features include its ease of use, centralized management, and image-scanning capabilities. Users appreciate its integration with AWS services, Docker compatibility, and high security. ECR supports private and public repositories, offers robust security via AWS identity management, and ensures reliable image handling with encryption and versioning. Automated image scanning alerts vulnerabilities, while the intuitive interface allows efficient image management and deployment, enhancing application speed without heavy reliance on third-party providers.
- "There are no issues. The service is remarkably stable."
- "Amazon ECR has a native integration with all AWS services, making it convenient for use within the AWS ecosystem."
- "The ECR solution is good. It is integrated with AWS, and it's free. Everything is free, which makes it nice to use."
Amazon ECR needs to address its complexity for beginners, improve documentation, enhance integration with services like CloudWatch and Docker Hub, and refine its user interface. Users seek better image scanning features with remediation advice, reduced downtime, and the ability to manage containers as tasks directly. Enhancements in security integration, image updating processes, and alignment with Docker's API are also desired. Improved real-time alerts and a detailed cost breakdown system could significantly benefit users.
- "I suggest making it more aligned with the Docker registry version two API specification."
- "There were a few issues related to the roles, policies, and retrieval of data when trying to fetch images for deployment on Amazon ECS. This can involve permissions and configuration complexities."
- "If I could use less code and have more of the user interface provide predictions of the coding required in my CLI or Terraform, that would be nice."
