The most valuable aspect of ECR is its user-friendliness.

I like CloudFormation for its simple language. It also has a very good graphical interface for diagramming my infrastructure.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would rate the stability of ECR ten out of ten.

I did not have any problem with the stability of CloudFormation.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

If I need to use different clouds, for example, GCP and AWS and Azure, I prefer to use Terraform.

How was the initial setup?

The deployment of ECR is straightforward.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The price of Amazon ECR is cheap.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate ECR ten out of ten.

My advice about ECR is that it is very simple to use and is cheap. 

While CloudFormation is useful for managing resources exclusively within AWS, Terraform is a more versatile choice when working with a multi-cloud environment, such as AWS, GCP, and Azure.
