Amazon ECR Release Notes

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) now supports automatic repository creation on image push. This new capability simplifies container workflows by having ECR automatically create repositories if they don't exist when an image is pushed, without customers having to pre-create repositories before pushing container images. Now when customers push images, ECR will automatically create repositories according to defined repository creation template settings.

Create on push is available in all AWS commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions.

What to do

  • Review repository creation template settings in the ECR documentation.
  • Update your container workflows to leverage automatic repository creation.
