Useful for multi-architecture and microservices applications
Pros and Cons
  • "One feature of Amazon ECR that I find particularly useful is its web interface, which makes management easy. The ability to manage and support token image updates is crucial for us. Moreover, utilizing load balancers via AWS features allows us to manage all traffic."
  • "Amazon ECR needs to improve its downtime."

What is our primary use case?

We use the solution for multi-architecture and microservices applications. We must create a Dockerfile for applications and build the image using Dockerfile. After that, push this Docker image on Amazon ECR, using AWS CI/CD and building processes. 

What is most valuable?

One feature of Amazon ECR that I find particularly useful is its web interface, which makes management easy. The ability to manage and support token image updates is crucial for us. Moreover, utilizing load balancers via AWS features allows us to manage all traffic. 

There are multiple roles, such as AM roles, security groups, etc., to improve security. We can get AWS-friendly dashboards. 

What needs improvement?

Amazon ECR needs to improve its downtime. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the product for four years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I rate Amazon ECR's stability a nine out of ten. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

By creating multiple replicas of a service, such as the front end, running on different Docker images, we can easily increase the number of replicas from, for instance, four to five. This scaling process ensures there is no downtime. It is similar to Kubernetes ports.

I rate the tool's scalability a nine out of ten. Our organization has around ten users who manage and create resources like Amazon ECR. The number of users accessing ECR can vary, with some months experiencing heavier usage, particularly for e-commerce websites with heavy traffic. In contrast, other websites, like school websites, may have limited users.

How are customer service and support?

I haven't contacted technical support since we can manage the tool ourselves. 

How was the initial setup?

The tool's deployment time varies depending on the application and source code. Typically, it can take five to ten minutes for Docker images to be deployed. The duration largely depends on factors such as the size and complexity of the Docker images. It is easy. 

What other advice do I have?

I rate the overall product a nine out of ten.

A stable solution that can be used for the containerization of different applications to be deployed
Pros and Cons
  • "The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is how it organizes the code and the infrastructure."
  • "Improving the documentation for easy understanding will help bring in more clients to use Amazon ECR."

What is our primary use case?

I use Amazon ECR for the containerization of different applications to be deployed. Using Amazon ECR is one of the best ways to deploy architecture, as it reduces development time and increases output. Amazon ECR is very flexible.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature of Amazon ECR is how it organizes the code and the infrastructure. It's dedicated to shipping out applications faster, and you don't have to depend heavily on third-party providers to get the work done.

What needs improvement?

A lot of documentation is very beneficial for command-line tools like Amazon ECR. Improving the documentation for easy understanding will help bring in more clients to use Amazon ECR.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using Amazon ECR for one year.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

If you do not have a good, knowledgeable team to back you up, you can cause your company to lose a lot of money. Amazon ECR needs a whole team to manage it, especially when deploying a very complex application.

I rate Amazon ECR an eight out of ten for stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I rate Amazon ECR a nine out of ten for scalability.

How was the initial setup?

The solution's initial setup is easy on the web interface but complex on the command line. You need to have prior experience in working with Docker in order to get the container set up.

What about the implementation team?

The solution's deployment doesn't take that long. The deployment time depends on your internet latency. If your internet is slow, the deployment will take more time.

What other advice do I have?

Users should have good knowledge of Docker and understand the whole concept of containerization when deploying different applications. Even though it may have a complex architecture, they would get it done because Amazon ECR's web interface is pretty straightforward.

Overall, I rate Amazon ECR a nine out of ten.
