**Tell us about your request**
It'd be great to be able to force ECR pull through cache to update even before the 24-hours period passes.
**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?**
It would allow using just ECS force redeployment for deploying new `:latest` tag. Now you have to use specific tags and that results in creating new ECS task version for every deploy.
**Are you currently working around this issue?**
Not using pull through cache (yet).
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the ECR pull-through cache behavior described in the issue, especially the 24-hour refresh period, and how ECS force redeployment handles the :latest tag. Done means a cache refresh can be forced before 24 hours so redeployment can use the updated image without creating a new ECS task version.
