What is elastic container registry (ECR)?
Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) is a fully-managed Docker container registry that makes it easy for developers to store, manage, and deploy Docker container images. Amazon ECR is integrated with Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS), simplifying your development to production workflow.
What is elastic container service (ECS)?
Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) is a highly scalable, fast container management service that makes it easy to run, stop, and manage containers on a cluster. Your containers are defined in a task definition that you use to run individual tasks or tasks within a service.
How can I control access to an Amazon Elastic Container Service instance?
In Amazon ECS, you can use IAM to control access at the container instance level using IAM roles and at the task level using IAM task roles. For more information, see Identity and access management for Amazon Elastic Container Service.
What is container agent in Amazon ECS?
Container agent The container agent runs on each container instance within an Amazon ECS cluster. It sends information about the resource's current running tasks and resource utilization to Amazon ECS, and starts and stops tasks whenever it receives a request from Amazon ECS. For more information, see Amazon ECS Container Agent.
What is an elastic container?
Amazon Elastic Container Service (ECS) is a highly scalable, high performance container management service that supports Docker containers and allows you to easily run applications on a managed cluster of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances.
What is the difference between ECR and ECS?
The primary difference between Amazon ECR and ECS is that while ECR provides the repository that stores all code that has been written and packaged as a Docker image, the ECS takes these files and actively uses them in the deployment of applications.
What is a container registry used for?
Container Registry is a single place for your team to manage Docker images, perform vulnerability analysis, and decide who can access what with fine-grained access control. Existing CI/CD integrations let you set up fully automated Docker pipelines to get fast feedback.
What is the use of ECR?

What is Amazon Elastic container registry ECR?
Amazon ECR is a fully managed container registry offering high-performance hosting, so you can reliably deploy application images and artifacts anywhere.
What is difference between ECS and EC2?
EC2 is a compute service that enables applications to run on AWS, whereas ECS is an AWS service used primarily to orchestrate Docker containers. They can work together, but they don't have to. EC2 runs in a great many instances and environments with ECS being in the picture.
What is Kubernetes container registry?
What is an Image Registry / Container Registry? Kubernetes is an orchestration management system that allows you to deploy and manage containers. A Kubernetes Pod holds related containers to support an application.
What is the difference between a Docker registry and repository?
While a container repository is a collection of related container images used to manage, pull and push images, a container registry is a collection of repositories made to store container images.
How many types of registry is there in Docker?
There are private Docker registries on-premises and on the public cloud. Docker Hub is a public registry maintained by Docker, along the Docker Trusted Registry an enterprise-grade solution, Azure offers the Azure Container Registry. AWS, Google, and others also have container registries.
What is the difference between ECR and ECO?
Once the ECR is circulated for review and discussion amongst key stakeholders and is modified as needed and approved, an engineering change order (ECO) is generated. The ECO lists the items, assemblies, and documentation being changed.
What is ECR on AWS?
Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) is an AWS managed container image registry service that is secure, scalable, and reliable. Amazon ECR supports private repositories with resource-based permissions using AWS IAM.

Features of Amazon ECS
Amazon ECS is a regional service that simplifies running containers in a highly available manner across multiple Availability Zones within a Region. You can create Amazon ECS clusters within a new or existing VPC. After a cluster is up and running, you can create task definitions that define which container images run across your clusters.
Getting started with Amazon ECS
To learn about the developer tools available for using Amazon ECS, see Amazon ECS developer tools overview.
Related services
IAM (Identity and Access Management) is an access management service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. You can use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to view or perform specific actions on resources.
Pricing
Amazon ECS pricing is dependent on whether you're using AWS Fargate or Amazon EC2 infrastructure to host your containerized workloads. When using Amazon ECS on AWS Outposts, the pricing follows the same model as when you're using Amazon EC2. For more information, see Amazon ECS Pricing.
