name: Amazon ECR
description: Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) is a fully managed container registry that makes it easy to store, manage,
  share, and deploy container images and artifacts. ECR eliminates the need to operate your own container repositories or
  worry about scaling the underlying infrastructure, and integrates with Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS for simplified development
  to production workflows.
