Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) now supports the ability to replicate images in private ECR repositories across accounts and/or regions, between the Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet and the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD.
Storing images helps applications start up faster as image download time is reduced due to lower latency from in-region pulls. Geographically dispersed images also help you meet backup and disaster recovery requirements for your applications. Amazon ECR Replication feature provides a simple and reliable way to replicate images, and eliminates the operational burden of manually pushing images across multiple regions and accounts.
With a few clicks in the Amazon ECR Console, or using the Amazon CLI, you can specify the destination region (Amazon Web Services China (Beijing) Region, operated by Sinnet or the Amazon Web Services China (Ningxia) Region, operated by NWCD), and/or destination accounts. Once replication is turned on, ECR will automatically replicate all new images pushed in source repository to configured destination. ECR also offers granular control to replicate specific repositories. You can specify which repositories to replicate with a prefix within the Amazon ECR Console or PutReplicationConfiguration API. To learn more about using replication in ECR, see our documentation.
