Amazon Elastic Container Registry Public: A New Public Container Registry

Nice to see more competition in the container registry space, I guess companies will be comparing the free&#x2F;paid tiers from different providers a lot now.<p>Looking at this announcement seems like their pricing on data pulled rather than number of image pulls.<p>And, I guess unsurprisingly, if you&#x27;re running in AWS you get unlimited pulls from this public registry, so it&#x27;ll be better if you&#x27;re already an AWS house.<p>I wonder how they&#x27;ll deal with typo-squatting risks...

I doubt this will be more popular than GitHub&#x27;s public-access registry[0], but it&#x27;s good to see more public registries coming online - people had gotten too comfortable with Docker Hub being almost entirely free.<p>0: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.blog&#x2F;2020-09-01-introducing-github-container-registry&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.blog&#x2F;2020-09-01-introducing-github-container-...</a>

PSA: If you have a personal AWS account and you want some custom url path for your public images (like public.ecr.aws&#x2F;sparrc&#x2F;myimage) then login and create your public registry and custom alias ASAP.

I hope AWS has plans to reach out to maintainers for things on Dockerhub to get them to mirror here.<p>Or at least be a steward in maintaining containers themselves (Dockerhub has the concept of Verified Publishers IIRC).<p>Worst case here might be lots of containers showing up here that aren&#x27;t by the same organization maintaining the equivalent Dockerhub containers, would get really annoying to deal with.

Aaand there goes dockerhub

Guess that&#x27;s about it for the rate limits.
