# VPCs should have interface endpoint for ECR Docker Registry
 
## Description{% #description %}

Virtual private clouds (VPCs) should have interface VPC endpoints configured for ECR Docker Registry to enable private access to ECR Docker Registry service. AWS PrivateLink enables customers to access services hosted on AWS while keeping all network traffic within the AWS network, which prevents traffic from service users from traversing the internet.

## Remediation{% #remediation %}

Configure a VPC endpoint for ECR Docker Registry by creating an interface endpoint with the service name **com.amazonaws..ecr.dkr**. For guidance on configuring a VPC endpoint, refer to the [Access an AWS service using an interface VPC endpoint](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/privatelink/create-interface-endpoint.html) section of the AWS PrivateLink Guide.
