Amazon ECR supports Open Container Initiative Image and Distribution specification version 1.1
News
This article announces that Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) now supports the Open Container Initiative (OCI) Image and Distribution specification version 1.1, which includes support for Reference Types. This feature simplifies the storage, discovery, and retrieval of artifacts related to a container image, such as image signatures and Software Bill of Materials (SBOMs).
Specifically, the article covers:
- ECR's support for OCI 1.1 Reference Types, allowing customers to easily store, discover, and retrieve artifacts like image signatures and SBOMs alongside their container images.
- The ability to distribute and manage artifacts related to supply chain security use cases, consistent with how container images are managed.
- ECR's replication feature supporting referrers, copying artifacts to destination regions and accounts along with replicated images.
- ECR Lifecycle Policies' support for referring artifacts, deleting references when a subject image is deleted due to a lifecycle policy rule expiration.
- The availability of OCI 1.1 support in all AWS commercial regions, AWS GovCloud (US) Regions, and Amazon ECR Public registry.
