**Tell us about your request**
Would be great if ECR Public supported lifecycle policies (which are [supported by ECR](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/userguide/LifecyclePolicies.html)).
**Which service(s) is this request for?**
ECR Public
**Tell us about the problem you're trying to solve. What are you trying to do, and why is it hard?**
Want to ensure we don't break deployments by hitting [repository image limits](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/public/public-service-quotas.html).
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
No; not yet close to hitting the limits. Currently old images have to be manually removed (if needed).
**Additional context**
Consistency with the [ECR lifecycle policies](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/userguide/LifecyclePolicies.html) would be great.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the ECR Public request and the linked ECR lifecycle policy and public service quota documentation. Define what lifecycle-policy support must cover and consider the request complete only when ECR Public can consistently manage old images without exceeding repository image limits.
