Description

ECR Inclusion Rules allow you to define specific criteria for including images in Amazon ECR repositories, helping to enforce security and compliance policies.

Features

• Custom Criteria: Define rules based on image tags, names, and other metadata.
• Policy Enforcement: Automatically enforce inclusion policies to maintain compliance.
• Automated Management: Simplify repository management by automating image inclusion.
• Integration: Seamlessly integrates with existing AWS security and compliance tools.
• Notifications: Alerts when images do not meet inclusion criteria.

Limitations

• Complex Configuration: Setting up and managing rules can be complex.
• Limited Scope: Only applies to images within ECR, not external repositories.

• Static Rules: Requires manual updates to rules as criteria change.

Use Cases

• Compliance Assurance: Ensures only compliant images are included in ECR repositories, helping meet regulatory requirements.
• Security Enforcement: Prevents inclusion of vulnerable or unauthorized images, enhancing overall security posture.
• Automated Workflow Integration: Integrates with CI/CD pipelines to automate the inclusion of approved images, streamlining development and deployment processes.
