Implementing usage and security reporting for Amazon ECR

This article provides a detailed guide on implementing usage and security reporting for Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) using a sample code repository.

• The solution generates two types of reports: Repository Summary and Image-Level
• Repository Summary report includes details like repository name, creation date, total images, and scan settings
• Image-Level report provides insights into individual images, including tags, size, scan status, and pull times
• The reports help organizations:
  • Identify unused repositories and images
  • Optimize cost management
  • Improve security posture
  • Implement more effective lifecycle policies
• Optional features include scheduling report generation and using Amazon Athena for advanced analysis

The goal is to provide comprehensive observability into container registries, enabling data-driven decisions for cost optimization and security enhancement.
