<a name="ecr"></a>

Amazon Elastic Container Registry (Amazon ECR) is an AWS managed container-registry service that's secure, and scalable. Several Amazon ECR service functions are accessible from the Toolkit for VS Code Explorer.
+ Creating a repository.
+ Creating an AWS App Runner service for your repository or tagged image.
+ Accessing image tag and repository URIs or ARNs.
+ Deleting image tags and repositories.

You can also access the full-range of Amazon ECR functions through the VS Code console by integrating the AWS CLI and other platforms, with VS Code.
