Amazon ECR now offers a new archive storage class to reduce storage costs for large volumes of rarely accessed container images. The new archive storage class helps you meet your compliance and retention requirements while optimizing storage cost. As part of this launch, ECR lifecycle policies now support archiving images based on last pull time, allowing you to use lifecycle rules to automatically archive images based on usage patterns.
To get started, you can archive images by configuring lifecycle rules to automatically archive images based on criteria such as image age, count, or last pull time, or using the ECR Console or API to archive images individually. You can archive an unlimited number of images. Archived images do not count against your image per repository limit. Once the images are archived, they are no longer accessible for pulls, but can be easily restored via ECR Console, CLI, or API within 20 minutes. Once restored, images can be pulled normally. All archival and restore operations are logged through CloudTrail for auditability.
The new ECR archive storage class is available in all AWS Commercial and AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. For pricing, visit the pricing page. To learn more, visit the documentation.
