Integration: Seamlessly integrates with Amazon ECS, EKS, and other AWS services.

Cost: Charges for storage and data transfer can accumulate with high usage.
Region Bound: Limited to the region where the registry is created, impacting cross-region deployments.
Image Limits: Imposes limits on the number and size of images stored.
Access Management: Requires careful configuration of permissions and policies.

Microservices Deployment: Streamlines the storage and deployment of container images for microservices architectures, ensuring consistency across environments.
CI/CD Pipelines: Integrates with CI/CD pipelines to automate building, storing, and deploying container images, enhancing development workflows.
Multi-Region Applications: Supports deploying applications across multiple regions by replicating container images, ensuring high availability and resilience.
