Tell us about your request What do you want us to build? Allow cross-region and cross-account replication to copy immutability, image scanning KMS encryption settings

Which service(s) is this request for? ECR

Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard? Our use-case involves hundreds of repos to be replicated across multiple regions and to multiple accounts. Enabling these settings manually seems to be error prone and daunting. we wanted a native solution within ECR instead of incorporating other solutions/resources around it.

Are you currently working around this issue? Currently we are manually enabling these settings. planning to setup Lambda function to perform the same in near future.

@shomeprasanjit , the replication will create the repository in the other account or region. After the repository is created and replicated, how are you changing the KMS encryption setting? This is one of the settings that cannot be changed after repository creation, correct?
