Amazon ECR (Amazon Elastic Container Registry)

Amazon ECR (Elastic Container Registry) is a secure, scalable service that stores and manages container images—packages of software code, libraries, and dependencies needed to run applications. It functions like a specialized cloud-based repository where developers can upload, organize, and access these images. ECR integrates seamlessly with other AWS services and container orchestration tools, simplifying deployment and ensuring consistent, reliable software delivery across environments. Essentially, it provides a centralized hub for container images, streamlining the process of developing, storing, and deploying containerized applications in the cloud.
