Amazon Elastic Container Registry (ECR) now supports repository creation templates in the AWS GovCloud (US) Regions. Repository creation templates allow you to configure the settings for the new repositories that Amazon ECR creates on your behalf during pull through cache and replication operations. These settings include encryption, lifecycle policies, access permissions, and tag immutability. Each template uses a prefix to match and apply configurations to new repositories automatically, enabling you to maintain consistent settings across your container registries.
