AWS ECR Guide: How to Cut Costs and Fix Fargate Pull Failures
AWS ECR is the default container registry for ECS Fargate, but private-subnet tasks often fail with ResourceInitializationError without NAT gateway or VPC endpoints. Storage costs can balloon to $400/month from untagged images, but a 30-day lifecycle policy can reduce that to ~$15/month. The guide covers IAM execution roles, VPC networking, and replication settings for multi-environment fleets.

Practical deep-dive into ECR's hidden costs and failure modes, but assumes AWS-only stack; multi-cloud teams may find the advice less portable.
