Tell us about your request What do you want us to build?
In the ECR console I would like to be able to see OS and architecture for an image in the console.
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? What outcome are you trying to achieve, ultimately, and why is it hard/impossible to do right now? What is the impact of not having this problem solved? The more details you can provide, the better we'll be able to understand and solve the problem.
Our team is using amd64 and arm64 images it is difficult to determine which image in the console corresponds to the appropriate architecture without having to do something like the following
aws ecr batch-get-image --repository-name node --image-id imageTag=latest --accepted-media-types "application/vnd.docker.distribution.manifest.v1+json" --output json
The console experience when using ECR with mulit-arch images is quite poor and could use some improvement.

This is especially maddening because the batch-get-image only works for manifests. If you have any given image, you can't tell what arch it is for unless you can find it in a corresponding manifest, or have tagged it as being for a specific arch.
I strongly support this request 💯 In the ECR console, it would be incredibly useful to see the OS name, OS version, and architecture for an image directly. This would significantly improve the user experience, especially when dealing with multi-arch images like amd64 and arm64. Thank you!
To be completely honest, I thought this kind of simple feature would come right out-of-the-box. It was really surprising (and somewhat disappointing) to see ECR does not have this information ready at hand.
I am writing a manuals for my users on how to build multi-arch images (or just arm64 images), so I would like to have the ability to confirm visually on the AWS Console UI so that the users know they do it right. Unfortunately, the users have to run some more commands Just To See the os/architecture.
This feel like another classic AWS example of rushing a service to market while band-aiding it with fine print...
