Remediation

Sure, here are the steps to remediate this misconfiguration in AWS:

  1. Open the AWS Management Console and navigate to the Elastic Container Registry (ECR) service.

  2. From the ECR dashboard, select the repository for which you want to set the lifecycle policy.

  3. In the repository details page, click on the “Lifecycle policies” tab.

  4. Click on the “Create lifecycle policy” button.

  5. In the “Create lifecycle policy” page, enter a name for the policy and choose the tag status for which you want to apply the policy.

  6. Under “Rules”, choose the actions you want to perform on images that match the tag status you selected in the previous step. For example, you can choose to expire images after a certain number of days or after a certain number of image versions.

  7. Click on the “Create” button to create the lifecycle policy.

  8. The lifecycle policy will now be applied to the selected repository and will automatically perform the actions you specified on images that meet the criteria you set.

That’s it! You have successfully remediated the misconfiguration by setting a lifecycle policy for the ECR image repository.
