Amazon ECR enhanced scanning now surfaces image use status

News



Amazon ECR has enhanced its container image scanning capabilities with new features that provide insights into image usage across Amazon EKS and ECS:

  • Surfaces image use status, including last used date
  • Shows number of clusters using a specific image
  • Provides cluster ARNs where images are running
  • Helps prioritize vulnerability remediation for active images
  • Continuously updates image use status in scanning findings

The enhancement is part of ECR enhanced scanning, which integrates with Amazon Inspector to detect vulnerabilities in container images. The feature is available at no additional cost in AWS Commercial and GovCloud (US) Regions.
