Amazon ECR Service Limits
The following table provides the default limits for Amazon ECR for an AWS account which can be changed. For more information, see AWS Service Limits in the Amazon Web Services General Reference.
| Resource | Default Limit |
|---|---|
| Maximum number of repositories per account | 1,000 |
| Maximum number of images per repository | 1,000 |
The following table provides other limitations for Amazon ECR and Docker images that cannot be changed.
Note
The layer part information mentioned in the table below is only applicable to customers who are calling the Amazon ECR APIs directly to initiate multipart uploads for image push operations (we expect this to be very rare).
We recommend that you use the docker CLI to pull, tag, and push images.
| Resource | Default Limit |
|---|---|
| Maximum number of layers per image | 127 (this is the current Docker limit) |
| Maximum number of tags per image | 100 |
| Maximum layer size * | 10,000 MiB |
| Maximum layer part size | 10 MiB |
| Minimum layer part size | 5 MiB (except the final layer part in an upload) |
| Maximum number of layer parts | 1,000 |
* The maximum layer size listed here is calculated by multiplying the maximum layer part size (10 MiB) by the maximum number of layer parts (1,000).
